Revocation of Newton Air Quality Management Area
The Newton Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) has now been revoked by way of The West Lothian Council (Newton) Air Quality Management Area Revocation Order 2024 which came into force on the 7th October 2024. The order revokes the whole of the Newton AQMA for Particulates (PM₁₀) which have been consistently below the air quality objective for the pollutant over a number of years, resulting in an improvement in local air quality.
