More than 1,000 nurseries in England are within 150m of roads that break legal limits for air pollution, according to a major new investigation published today. 

While the majority of nurseries close to polluted roads are in London, an analysis, by Greenpeace's investigations unit, of official government data shows the problem stretches far beyond the capital to towns and cities all over England. [1]

Overall reaction:

John Sauven, Executive Director of Greenpeace UK, said:

“Hammond’s first Budget could have put the UK on course to lead the global race for clean technology, healthy air and a strong economy. To really ‘prepare Britain for a brighter future’ the Chancellor should have used this moment to gain an advantage by boldly backing offshore wind power, supporting solar and driving consumers towards cleaner cars.
