LAQM report status

LAQM report submissions

Local authorities are required to produce an annual progress report detailing their air quality review and assessment work in the previous calendar year. Local authorities are required to submit their annual progress report to the Scottish Government and to other statutory consultees by the end of June each year. Although a number of local authorities submit their progress reports in line with the specified deadline, some fail to do so. In 2016 SEPA, with the support of the Scottish Government, began issuing reminder and warning letters for overdue reports. The table and graphs below outline the number of days after the formal deadline that Local Authorities submitted their report. A zero value represents the report was submitted within the specified deadline. The annual reports are available to view under the LAQM reports tab.
