Results from the monitors on the B3105 in the village have been released. They show NO2 levels below the danger level. There is still some calibration to be done which is likely to reduce the numbers slightly. Because the road was closed for part of 2023 the monitors will be left in place to get a full set of readings for 2024.

These are the full results for the 12 months January to December 2023:

Old Bear: 22/20/15/17/14/15/11/7/8/10/15/11. Average 14.

New Terrace: 28/26/19/23/16/13/16/8/12/11/16/21. Average 17.

Figures are in microgrammes of NO2 per cubic metre. So they’re below the UK Air Quality Annual Mean Objective of 40ug/m³

The road closure was from July 26 to Nov 16, hence the much lower pollution levels for that part of the year.
