Have a say on proposed changes to air quality management areas
Pembrokeshire County Council is inviting residents to take part in a public consultation on the proposed removal of Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) in Haverfordwest and Pembroke.
The Council has a long standing commitment to monitoring air quality to help protect public health.
In 2012, several streets in Haverfordwest and Pembroke were designated as AQMAs after assessments showed that air pollution - primarily caused by traffic - could exceed national air quality objectives.
Since then, sustained improvements have been recorded.
Ongoing monitoring has shown that levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) in both locations have remained consistently low and comfortably within national standards.
Contributing factors include improvements in vehicle emissions and smoother traffic flows.
As a result the Council is proposing to revoke the AQMA designations. However, Air quality monitoring will continue.
How to get involved
Residents are invited to complete an online survey by March 20th 2026.
