Worcester councillors demand UK to update environmental laws to protect health from construction impacts.
Worcester County Council councillors, including leader Jo Monk, are urging the UK government to update outdated environmental laws, saying current regulations fail to protect public health from the impacts of large-scale housing developments.
They cite ongoing construction noise, dust, and poor air quality as contributors to respiratory issues and mental distress, especially among vulnerable groups.
The council is calling for stronger environmental protections, better enforcement of planning rules, public access to real-time air quality data, and improved coordination with local authorities and schools to assess health risks.
