Falling air pollution on Glasgow’s Byres Road is set to see it removed from a watchlist, despite levels still being short of World Health Organisation standards, a Green councillor has warned.
Council officials have recommended Byres Road and Dumbarton Road should no longer be considered an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) because pollution is decreasing enough.
Major work starting next year to widen footpaths, introduce protected cycle paths and other measures on Byres Road are set to improve air quality further.
