Shocking but not unsurprising. Nowhere in #London meets @WHO health-based guidelines but the impacts of #AirPollution are worse in outer London. That’s why @MayorofLondon is right to expand the #ULEZ to bring cleaner air to 5 million more Londoners.

🚨 Our new analysis has revealed that 24 out of the 30 GP surgeries with the highest rates of asthma prevalence in London are in outer London. This is why the planned ULEZ expansion can make a huge difference to everyone living in the area.

Thanks to all who’ve worked to reduce our #ToxicAir . This 2016-2019 data is pre-Covid & shows we can make an impact on people’s lives. But traffic is returning to pre-Covid levels. We can’t be complacent which is why ULEZ expansion & a PM2.5 target on the Envt Bill is key.

London’s air quality has dramatically improved. Data shows a 97% decrease in the number of schools in areas with illegal levels of pollution. I'm delighted with our progress, but there's still a long way to go. That’s why I’m expanding ULEZ in 2021.
