Next steps
Following the consultation, it was decided that Canal Boats would be excluded from the replacement smoke control order.
In November 2023, a decision was taken by Cabinet to revoke the existing smoke control areas and, following a further consultation period and secretary of State confirmation, to introduce a new Borough Wide Smoke Control Order.
The policy on the enforcement of the smoke control order was also approved by Cabinet in November 2023.
This will help us to streamline enforcement requirements, improve local air quality and reduce carbon emissions to help tackle climate change.
