Talking about air quality and and its health impact in Sutton

Caroline went to Sutton with Lib Dem member of the House of Lords Baroness Brinton to visit the Sutton Breathe Easy patient support group, which is a group that offers help and support to people with lung conditions.

This group is part of the British Lung Foundation network, an excellent charity that campaigns tirelessly to improve air quality in the UK.

Caroline said:

"Real action on air quality is needed straight away in London, which is why I was delighted to meet with the Sutton Breathe Easy patient support group.

“I have a plan to radically improve London’s air quality which will include increasing the Congestion Charge by £2.50 for diesel vehicles and bringing forward plans for the current Ultra Low Emission Zone to 2018, as well as expanding its scope."
