Members were advised that there had been progress in the Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP) during the quarter which had seen the council looking to purchase   fine particulate matter monitoring equipment.

Schools had completed their travel plan reviews with 54 schools engaged and with 41 achieving gold awards.

A draft strategy on the installation of electric vehicle charging points across the borough was being prepared for consultation with the borough’s residents.

With regards to HMOs the service continued to receive a low volume of new licence applications and enforcement work had recently resumed.

It was noted that the recent easing of travel restrictions has seen an increase in the issuance of Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs).

Staff training following the restructure had slowed correspondence to PCN recipients.
