I read that Edinburgh City Council is taking positive steps to tackling air pollution. Large polluting cars will have to pay more for a parking permit; low emission vehicles will pay less.
Once again the inertia of Glasgow City Council in tackling this issue has been shown up. Glasgow’s air pollution is about the worst in the UK and little has been done to reduce it. Having a few Greens on the council has made no impact.
When you consider that our record on heart and lung disease is so bad, it is possible that air pollution is contributing to our poor life expectancy.
