Criteria met if a council has implemented a Clean Air Zone or Low Emission Zone that is currently in operation.
For this question the Clean Air Zone or Low Emission Zone does not have to require charges for private vehicles.
Local authorities that do not breach the WHO air quality levels for NO2 in 25% or more of their neighbourhoods (therefore they don't receive any negative points for Questions 12a) will not be marked against this question. If a county council has a constituent district with 75% of their neighbourhoods breaching the WHO air quality levels they will be marked against this question, whether or not 25% of all of their neighbourhoods breach the WHO NO2 guidelines.
A Clean Air Zone or Low Emission Zone is where targeted action is being taken to improve air quality and reduce the number of polluting vehicles and is usually defined over a certain area, such as a city centre.
To be awarded points in the Scorecards the zone must be more than one street
