Decision details

Purchase of Air Quality Monitor

Decision Maker: Director of Place Management

Decision status: Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

To move provisional capital of £4.2k to fully approved for the replacement of a Zephyr Air Quality Monitor.

The Zephyr is an air quality monitor which measures a range of parameters such as Nitrogen Dioxide and Particulates and replaces a now defunct AQMesh analyser. This will be deployable everywhere – within and outside the CAZ.

Decision:

To fully approve budget of £4.2k, currently held as provisional in our 2021/22 capital programme.

Alternative options considered:

To not replace the current monitor. This would leave us with a gap in our monitoring strategy and would lead to a reduction in our capability to respond to residents’ concerns, with officers having to provide opinion without the means to substantiate them.
