Get involved (doing your bit)
We are working to meet the challenge of reducing airborne pollutants PM2.5, PM10 and NO2 set by the Government, but success will also require a concerted public effort with each person doing their bit by active travel planning and reducing the reliance on the motor car for travel. This will have other additional benefits as participants will be fitter and healthier by choosing to walk or cycle more regularly and, of course, increased enjoyment of the wonderful East Suffolk landscape.

Biomass boiler information request
In common with other types of combustion appliances, biomass boilers are potentially a source of air pollution. Pollutants associated with biomass combustion include particulate matter (PM10/PM2.5) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. These pollution emissions can have an impact on local air quality and affect human health. It is therefore essential that any new biomass boilers installed in the district meet certain emission control requirements and that numbers are monitored in order to protect local air quality.

Woodbridge Junction AQMA - Revoked
To meet national air quality objectives, local authorities must regularly review and assess air quality in their areas. If a location is found where the objectives are not being achieved, the local authority must declare the area as an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) and develop an Air Quality Action Plan to reduce air pollution.

Stratford St Andrew AQMA - Revoked
History
In 2011 East Suffolk Council began monitoring for the air pollutant nitrogen dioxide (from vehicle exhausts) on the A12 at Little Glemham, Farnham and Stratford St. Andrew. The results indicated that the site at Stratford St. Andrew (Long Row, The Street), measuring an annual mean NO2 concentration of 43.3µg/m3, was above the national Air Quality Strategy (AQS) objective – set at 40µg/m3. Additional monitoring was undertaken on the A12 in Stratford St. Andrew which confirmed the exceedance at Long Row. All other locations monitored on the A12 were within the AQS objective.

Ferry Lane Felixstowe AQMA - Revoked
An AQMA was declared in 2009 due to exceedances of the air quality objective for annual mean nitrogen dioxide (NO2) at the Dooley Inn public house, Ferry Lane, Felixstowe. A Further Assessment was completed in 2010 confirming that the AQMA should be retained, and concluding that container handling activities on the Port, and heavy duty vehicles on roads external to the Port made the greatest contribution to NO2 levels within the AQMA.

Keeping or training animals for exhibition
Keeping Animals for Training or Exhibition
The new Animal Welfare (Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018 require all those who keep animals to train or exhibit, to hold a licence with the local authority. Previously, these keepers would have been registered with Suffolk County Council under the old Performing Animals (Regulation) Act 1925.
