A pie chart showing the sources of nitrogen oxides in the UK, and how much comes from road transport and diesel vehicles (the vast majority comes from diesel).

A pie chart showing the sources of nitrogen oxides in the UK, and how much comes from road transport and diesel vehicles (the vast majority comes from diesel).

We're looking again at the Chief Medical Officer's 2022 #AirPollution report and noting how much diesel contributes to the nitrogen oxides we are breathing across England. Diesel needs to go. #DitchDiesel https://buff.ly/4hY9erU

A very clear response from London Fire Commissioner, Andy Rowe to a question at Fire Plenary last week from Emma Best AM about the impact of LTNs on fire brigade attendance times.

"We genuinely couldn't find any evidence of LTNs doing anything to our overall attendance times".

When you create low traffic neighbourhoods the community flourishes and streets become places to dine, neighbours interact, children play freely, and walking and cycling becomes much safer and more pleasant.

Valencia does not have state-of-the-art cycling infrastructure, but itโ€™s adequate. Separated cycle lanes always bypass bus stops. Thereโ€™s no major problem and pedestrians crossing are respected by cyclists.
