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.
