Air quality impact of York's taxis could be revealed
Jan 18 2011
Later this week, a City of York Council taxi licensing review task group will decide whether to produce a study into the emission levels of cabs in the area, according to the York Press.
A report by scrutiny officers which will go before the meeting on Thursday (January 20th 2011) stated that air quality is a problem in all cities around the UK.
It added: "It is recognised that while everybody needs to play their part, those who contribute more to the problem, such as buses, taxis and vans, should be expected to do more to provide the solution."
As well as looking at the pollution the cars create, it will discuss whether some of the vehicles can be replaced with greener ones and if the city has enough ranks.
The findings could improve pollution levels in the city, as the local authority has been named an Air Quality Management Area for its high levels of nitrogen dioxide.
