Thank you for the question. The UK Government’s decision not to fund its local air quality grant scheme does not impact Wales. It solely supports English local authorities, which will not have access to that scheme. However, in Wales, on 19 April, the Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs agreed a £1 million budget for Wales’s local air quality management support fund for the financial year that we are now in.
