Sussex Low Emissions Zones - Local authority experience Sussex Air Quality Partnership Sussex Emissions & Air Quality Management Areas 2 Sussex Low Emission Strategy Sussex Low Emissions Zones: Storrington LEZ trial Storrington is used as an (unwelcome) alternative to A27: • Village population of 4,600 people. • Around 19,000 vehicles passing through Storrington each day • 51% of this traffic passes straight through Storrington • 3% of vehicles are HGVs Sussex Low Emissions Zones: Storrington LEZ trial Horsham District Council’s Air Quality Action Plan for Storrington: • 20mph speed limit (rejected) • Traffic re-routing (rejected) • Improved signage (approved, but will not have a large impact) • Gating (rejected) • HGV physical restrictions (under consideration) • Low Emission Zone (under consideration) Sussex Low Emissions Zones: Storrington LEZ trial To help assess the most viable option of a Low Emission Zone without having to invest in a full solution, Siemens has offered to provide a pilot of its innovative new LEZ solution, GreenZone With kind permission of Siemens plc Sussex Low Emissions Zones: Storrington LEZ trial The proposed pilot LEZ solution includes the following elements: • Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras covering 4 sites • Transportable roadside cabinets • Low Emission Zone Enforcement Instation software • Customer User Interface for vehicle information • Secure hosting of all necessary IT infrastructure • Operations and maintenance • Consultancy work to provide modelling / data analysis Andy Gill Head Business Development Siemens plc [email protected] Mobile: +44 7808 826757 With kind permission of Siemens plc Sussex Low Emissions Zones: Brighton Bus LEZ …..levels of nitrogen dioxide are double or treble EU and UK legal limits in some parts of the city covered by the AQMA Sussex Low Emissions Zones: Brighton Bus LEZ In June 2013 a resolution was passed by BHCC Committee instructing officers to investigate the development of a Low Emission Zone in central Brighton. Key driver to enable Low Emission Zone: • £750,000 Clean Bus Technology Fund granted to BHCC and Brighton Buses has enabled an Bus LEZ to be established. • Retro-fit and earlier phasing out of older stock. Contact: Sam Rouse or Paul Nichols Brighton and Hove City Council Sussex Low Emissions Zones: Brighton Bus LEZ Key elements of the Low Emission Zone Euro 5 emission standard for buses entering the LEZ from 1 January 2015 • Area extends along main route of Brighton Buses in North St, where 90% buses travel through. • Results in improved emissions across wider area and outside Brighton. • By upgrading buses to Euro V or/and retrofitting pre-existing CRT fitted buses with an SCR system designed to achieve the equivalent of Euro V NOx emissions, the NO2 will be reduced by circa 60%, reducing the NO2 emissions from 5g/km to 2g/km.
