The air quality department at Merebrook has recently been involved with a project in Derby city centre which was refused planning permission on air quality grounds in September 2019. However, a new solution developed recently by our team looks likely to overturn that decision.

We have started work on a project to clean up and regenerate sites for new academy buildings for two schools in Cheetham Hill, Manchester.
The £45 million programme, which is sponsored by the Department for Education, was established to address the needs of schools urgently requiring repair and to improve the overall standard of school buildings in the UK by creating environments which are conducive to learning.
