Changes to Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs)

Kirklees Council revoked three AQMAs and amended three in 2025, thanks to several years of improvement in air quality across the borough.

We are now consulting on the proposed revocation of AQMA 8 (Outlane), following several years of continued compliance with the air quality objectives.

You can read more about why we are proposing these changes in our Air Quality Annual Status Report (ASR) 2026
