London seems to just go from bad to worse on pollution.
London air pollution as bad as ‘smoking 154 cigarettes every year’ | Metro News
A couple of years ago, I noticed shortness of breath, and was diagnosed with Asthma. It’s getting worse and more aggressive, thinking of moving out of London.
Anyone in touch with local government to see what they are doing locally to reduce pollution? ULEZ does not seem to be working in London.

You can reach out to your local MP. Some steps you can take:
1. Find out who your local MP is by visiting the UK Parliament website and entering your postcode.
2. Check their website or social media pages to see if they have taken any action on air pollution before.
3. Write an email or letter to your MP, introducing yourself and expressing your concerns about air pollution in your local area. Share your asthma experience and ask what is being done to address pollution.
in London, we’ve seen some positive changes like Low Emission Zones and more cycling infrastructure, but more needs to be done. If you want to use social media to put pressure on our local governments and councils, use hashtags like #CleanAirForLondon and #LondonAirQuality to raise awareness and call for action. And tag in the relevant MP social media usernames.
Good luck, we all need to be doing more of this stuff.-
Thanks Yohan.

Unfortunately, we are going to see pollution go from bad to worse. And increasing health conditions and costs to NHS to treat a growing number of people. Investing in making air cleaner pays for itself in that way.
