Its very sadly official that London has the dirtiest air in Europe.

Under EU regulations UK is allowed no more than 35 ‘bad air’ days a year. Last week London recorded its 36th already – not even half way through the year.

It seems clear that London Mayor Boris Johnson is not taking anywhere near enough actions to fix this and in fact is making it worse by cancelling the western extension of the Congestion Charging Zone. We need a proper Clean Air Zone (http://www.glalibdems.org.uk/resources/sites/217.160.173.25-3e54d44dcb2780.65885247/Clean+Air+Zone.pdf) as proposed by London Lib Dems.

2012 Olympics will see a world focus on London and our air pollution levels have the potential to very publicly humiliate London and the UK.
