3. Air Quality Directions 2017 and 2018
In April 2015 the Supreme Court found the Secretary of State to be in breach of the Directive and ordered an updated Air Quality Plan be prepared to achieve NO2 limits as soon as possible.
High Court ruling set out a three-part test for assessing air quality plans.
The test requires that plans must: 
1. Aim to achieve compliance as soon as possible; 
2. Choose a route to compliance which reduces human exposure as quickly as possible; and 
3. Ensure that compliance with the limit values is not just possible but likely.

7. Local leaders – asks of Government
A modern Clean Air Act that establishes strong air quality limits standards linked to World Health Organisation recommended guidelines, enforced by a new independent statutory body, with new powers and resources to ensure strong national and local action.   
A targeted national vehicle renewal scheme to replace older polluting vehicles that supports drivers and businesses to change to low-emission vehicles and other sustainable forms of transport, taking special care that those on low incomes and also small businesses are helped to make the shift.
An enhanced Clean Air Fund open to all towns and cities in England funded by UK Government and motor-vehicle manufacturers. This would provide investment for cleaner buses, taxis and alternatives to car travel walking, cycling and public transport.
Support for businesses to innovate clean transport technology and enable the UK to be a global leader in manufacturing low-emission vehicles post-Brexit as part of the Road to Zero Transport, Clean Growth and Industrial Strategies. This should include a commitment to phase out sales of new pure diesel and petrol cars and vans by To ensure the role out of the vital electric vehicle infrastructure needed to support this, cities should have the power to install charge points at petrol stations and private car parks.
