Air Pollution

Please join us at the Lambeth Country Show this weekend to create a sculpture to help raise local awareness of air pollution.

We are collaborating with Red Line Rooftop Gallery and pupils from local primary schools to create a giant artwork, calling on London boroughs, the Mayor of London and national government and businesses to CLEAN OUR AIR.

South London grassroots campaign group ‘Mums for Lungs’ is urging parents concerned by dangerous levels of air pollution in London to respond to a critical consultation being run by Transport for London. Air pollution causes an estimated 9000 deaths in the capital every year, and has been linked to cases of asthma in children and babies.

Soon after his election in May, the Mayor invited Londoners to share their experiences and ideas about improving air quality. More than 15,000 people responded to this consultation on the Talk London website.
