We're here for cleaning up waterways - but there's a lot more to do to clean up our air too. We need:. 📉 A clear plan to meet WHO's air quality limits. 🚗 Major action on traffic(inc. delivering transport targets & phasing out diesel ASAP). 🔥 An end to unnecessary wood burning.
Through bold action, we’ve helped clean up London’s toxic air. Now it’s time to clean up our polluted waterways.

ULEZ's success should give city & national leaders the courage to act faster on toxic air, in London and beyond.

🏡 For some of London's most deprived communities living near the busiest roads, there’s been an estimated 80% reduction in people exposed to illegal levels of pollution. 🛒 ULEZ expansion has had no impact on footfall, or retail & leisure spending, anywhere in London.

👏 ULEZ works - and here's what we need next 📢. A new report out today shows that all Londoners are breathing cleaner air thanks to ULEZ. ⛔ Harmful roadside NO2 concentrations are down across London - by 54% in central, 29% in inner and 27% in outer London.

Huge thanks from our coalition and good luck in your next endeavor @sabrodrigues61. Londoners are undoubtably breathing better due to your leadership and determination. We look forward to engaging your successor so that we meet @WHO guidelines asap - we have a long way to go 🙏.

On woodburning, Rob wants more evidence and data and believes public awareness is very low. He is committed to raise awareness but wont commit to a target to end unnecessary woodburning 🫤. Our partner @mumsforlungs outlines the case for action here 5/5

We were delighted to hear that @robblackie is committed to meeting our pledge for a zero emission bus fleet (diesel free!) by 2030. This is not specified in the Liberal Democrat manifesto so we were pleased for clarification fyi @RossLydall @OnLondon. 4/5

Rob gets the need to meet @WHO guidelines and he commits to an immediate action plan and pathway that will evidence what is possible and by when. Rob feels analysis is lacking and is determined to look into it first before targets. We welcome this but feel both are necessary. 2/5

We’re very grateful to @robblackie for taking time to meet with us on Friday so that we could learn more about his priorities and how these align with the pledges we have put to Mayoral candidates. Pleased to say there is a healthy alignment🧵1/5 .
The next Mayor of London should act with ambition to clear the air we breathe of toxic pollution and realise the benefits of clean air for our health, the NHS, and the economy 🙏 💚. Help us share our three key pledges we want candidates to sign up to. 🧵1/7👇
