Sunak should stop playing politics with air pollution

Sunak should stop playing politics with air pollution and work with London Mayor – Greenpeace

Commenting on the expansion of the London ULEZ coming into force tomorrow, Greenpeace UK clean air campaigner Paul Morozzo said:

“London can be proud today of being among world leaders in efforts to protect its citizens’ health from toxic air. The ULEZ expansion will help tackle the air pollution that’s permanently damaging children’s lungs and putting the health of many people at risk. Rishi Sunak has a legal obligation to cut harmful pollution levels across the UK. So instead of playing politics with such a vital issue, he should work with the London Mayor to provide proper financial support for working people wanting to get rid of older, more polluting vehicles. The Prime Minister should step up to make sure that working families are supported and costs fall on those with the broadest shoulders.”
