These are locations in the borough where levels of harmful nitrogen dioxide levels are regularly monitored.
The council says air quality has improved so much that they are no longer needed.
All six areas have seen pollutant levels fall to at least 10% below the national air quality objectives for three consecutive years.
Elmbridge has six AQMAs, declared between 2005 and 2013, when nitrogen dioxide levels exceeded the national limit of 40 µg/m³. Nitrogen dioxide mainly comes from vehicle emissions and energy generation.
Cllr Caroline James, Portfolio Holder for Planning and Environmental Health, said:
It is wonderful news that the air pollutant nitrogen dioxide levels have improved, and that we can review our AQMA status. However, we continue to encourage everyone to support cleaner air in Elmbridge by considering active travel, switching to renewable energy providers where possible and making small changes to support a healthier environment. The wellbeing of our residents is important to us. Once the AQMA’s are revoked we will replace our Air Quality Action Plan with a new Air Quality Strategy demonstrating the council’s continuing commitment to improving local air quality.
