Mayor Of London Poised To Ban Cars From The Road

Mayor Of London Poised To Ban Cars From The Road

London mayor Boris Johnson is proposing a temporary ban on cars and HGVs on some of the capital’s busiest roads on days when air pollution is at its most dangerous.

He stated that he would consider measures such as banning vehicles during the 'very worst pollution episodes in london' in response to a question from a green party member of the city’s legislative assembly.

With 7.5million residents, London has the worst record for nitrogen oxide pollutants among european capitals and one of the worst for airborne particles. Campaigners have said that air pollution has contributed to the death of more than 3,000 londoners in 2005; while the campaign for clean air in london puts the figure as high as 8,000.

So how would you attribute a death to poor air quality, and not say... smoking or second hand smoke, hell wiff in a bit to much of certain cleaning solutions and you'll be 100 times worse off.

How far is your head up your ass? Do you know how small the roads are in London? Business is hurting because of the congestion and gas is wasted doing almost nothing.

I thought this guy was supposed to be the opposite of Ken Livingston. He seemed alright as a guest on Top Gear. sigh... publicity, eh?
