An Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) was declared by Order in respect of levels of fine particulates (PM₁₀) and nitrogen dioxide in Masons Lane Bradford on Avon in November 2001. Levels of fine particulates have fallen and are now compliant with UK air quality regulations. As a result, the order establishing the AQMA can be modified to remove fine particulates.
