She said: “We were looking to see what the Government want to do and what we may or may not be able to do to supplement that at local level.”

She added: “We’re looking at setting up a cross-party task and finish group to understand air quality challenges and the opportunities for Peterborough.

“We want to do a bit more work behind the scenes then make the right policy decisions locally.”
