Shropshire Council air quality reports

Our reports on air quality in line with the national Local Authority Management Regime guidance produced by DEFRA. This webpage links to our most recent reports:

Annual Status Report 2024
Annual Status Report 2023
Annual Status Report 2022
Annual Status Report 2021
Annual Status Report 2020
Annual Status Report 2019 - (NB this report was not approved by DEFRA as diffusion tube monitoring left tubes out for two months with the result being inputted for both months rather than the data being emitted and annualisation of the data set occurring. If you are using this data set for assessment purposes please note this and carry out any relevant amendments to the dataset as may be required to ensure your assessment is robust).
Annual Status Report 2018
Annual Status Report 2017
Annual Status Report 2016 - Report was combined with the Updating and Screening Assessment 2015 report. This approach was confirmed as appropriate by DEFRA and therefore no separate report was produced.
Updating and Screening Assessment 2015
