With news in the media of a planning application for Witham’s Air Monitoring Station to be relocated at Devil’s Tower Road and not in the NW zone of Gibraltar as pledged, the ESG has to express its disappointment with this decision.

It is vital to have good quality air monitoring data from the Port and North Mole area given the many pollution sources from shipping, power station and skid generators and we are making representations to the Minister and his department over the pressing need for this to happen and for information to be publicly available.
