Air Quality
London is in the midst of an air quality crisis. Nearly 95% of Londoners live areas exceeding World Health Organisation PM2.5 limits by 50%. With the election of Sadiq Khan, air quality has risen to the top of the policy agenda. The mayor has noted that some of the worst air pollution hotspots are around schools. MP Smarter Travel is helping turn this crisis into an opportunity for local people to come together as communities and implement measures to make their neighbourhoods cleaner, healthier and more sustainable.
