Pollution levels at Twyford’s crossroads have now dipped below worrying levels, according to Defra, so much so that it has revoked its status as an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA). The site has been of concern since 2015, with levels of nitrogen oxide being monitored continuously. Levels of nitrogen oxide have been monitored in Twyford since 2015 at this, and 48 other areas in the Wokingham Borough. Annual status reports of air quality management must be submitted to Defra and this latest set of results refers to data up to the end of 2022. It doesn’t change the ongoing monitoring, not continuous monitoring, that ceases, but the diffusion tubes will remain and monitoring will continue.
