These two short reports summarise the Assembly's scrutiny of the Mayor's draft strategies on Air Quality and on Biodiversity in Greater London. The Assembly welcomes both documents and recognises many strong points within them, while pointing out room for improvement for the Mayor to consider in producing his final versions of these important environmental strategies. For example, on air quality, the Assembly is concerned that the primary objective of reducing certain pollutants may not be achieved by the target dates, and on biodiversity the Assembly sees insufficient guidance as to how people and communities can take effective action, especially in the face of development pressures.
