We are a new campaign just launched in Hackney. We want:
1. Hybrid buses for Hackney Central to rid our air of 68% of the nitrogen dioxide in it which comes from buses
2. Better junctions which are not staggered so that cyclists, children, babies in buggies and other pedestrians are not waiting in the middle breathing in air which is over twice the safe limit for nitrogen dioxide
3.To ensure that the ultra low emission zone requires more cars in Hackney and the Congestion Zone to be zero or low emission by 2018
4. Planting schemes and green walls in playgrounds that are next to our main roads.
Please look us up and sign our petition www.ilikecleanair.org.uk
