The latest air quality assessment of the 2024 monitoring data shows roadside levels in the area now meet the national standards.

This represents the second year of compliance following success achieved in 2023, enabling the government to formally revoke the order in place.

Councillor Sean Rhodes said he was “delighted” at the news.

“We know how significant this junction is for road users, residents and local communities, and we have listened carefully to the concerns raised about the measures,” he said.

“I recognise they have caused inconvenience and we have worked hard behind the scenes to secure clear direction from the government on this matter.

“We can remove the measures while continuing to closely monitor air quality so we can strike the right balance between traffic flow and environmental considerations.”
