Oldham Council was issued with a Direction under the Environment
Act 1995 requiring the Council to produce a feasibility study to
identify the option which will deliver compliance with the
requirement to meet legal limits for nitrogen dioxide in the
shortest possible time. Oldham Council complied with this Direction
by the production of a feasibility study submitted to JAQU in July
2018. Oldham Council is also required to address the exceedances
that have been identified within its boundary during the Target
Determination exercise. Oldham Council confirmed in its
supplemental plan that the exceedance identified in Oldham was
being considered as part of the Greater Manchester plan. This has
been acknowledged by government.
Oldham Council has been developing the study collectively with the
other 9 Greater Manchester local authorities and the GMCA, and
coordinated by TfGM in line with Government direction and
guidance.
