Warnings have been issued over the lack of ambition in the Scottish Government s clean air strategy CAMPAIGNERS have warned more action is needed to clean up vehicle pollution after the Scottish Government’s clean air strategy has been labelled a “huge missed opportunity”. The cleaner air for Scotland plan was published by Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham in October as a blueprint to improve air quality. But a coalition of charities has now spoken out against the strategy, claiming the document contains “very few measures to reduce pollution from vehicles”. The Scottish Government proposals include potential controls on the supply of wet wood and house coal, a “voluntary code of good practice” for reducing emissions in the agriculture sector and a “new approach to public engagement and behaviour change in relation to air quality”.
