In view of the large housing developments that have taken place over the years in and around Tile Hill Village and, in view of the proposed large new housing developments planned for Westwood Heath Road , Cromwell Lane and Burton Green and the planned heavy works connected with HS2 over the next few years, it is important that current air quality be measured now and then consistently over the next 5 - 10 years. If air current quality proves above acceptable levels and a danger to public health, the above mentioned developments should not go ahead until such time as air quality improves and can be maintained - perhaps in 2040 when all cars will be electric!
I represent Tile Hill Village Residents' Group and we would like the air quality survey to commence no later than September 2017 to establish current air quality and for regular measurements to be taken thereafter. Safe air quality is a legal requirement and therefore should form part of any new housing development. Excessive traffic speeds and a significant increase in traffic levels over the years, proven by surveys, in and around Tile Hill Village may be having a serious affect on our air quality.
Air quality is a hot topic at the moment and is proven to be responsible for the deaths of thousands of people each year, and increases the discomfort and limits the mobility of those already suffering from breathing disorders.
