Letter London Evening Standard
Thursday, 5 March 2015
Dear Mr Neicho
So it appears that Mayor Boris Johnson’s dismissive “bollocks” response to last year’s claims by top experts that Oxford Circus, the country’s famous shopping street, harboured some of the worst pollution on the planet was correct. There are some in Britain’s other 49 pollution hotspots which are even worse - and they are all in London, the capital which Mr Johnson presides over! (London pollution: 50 worst spots in UK for air filth are ALL in the capital – Evening Standard, 05 March 2015)
It appears that Boris Bikes alone are not the answer. So might I suggest - as one who cycles through East London to work - that improving access for cyclists; not scrapping the congestion charge and giving commuters a break from extortionate fare rises would allow us all to breathe a little more fresh air. Now that would be the bollocks!
Yours sincerely
