Clean Air Zone
PDF document, version 1.4
Uploaded at 8.06.29pm BST (GMT +0100) Sun 23rd May 2010
Air pollution in London is the worst in the UK for dangerous airborne particles (PM10) and has the highest annual nitrogen dioxide (NO2) levels of any city in Europe. This pollution has serious health impacts for Londoners: it causes thousands of premature deaths and makes respiratory conditions such as asthma worse. Action needs to be taken to prevent the oldest, most polluting, diesel vehicles from driving in the centre of London where air pollution is worst. This will improve air quality, and improve the health and quality of life of Londoners.
The enclosed briefing sets out the detailed proposals from the Liberal Democrat London Assembly Group.

Lib Dem response to changes to the Low Emission Zone - July 2010
PDF document, version 1.4
Uploaded at 9.57.06am BST (GMT +0100) Thu 1st Jul 2010
Overall the key points of this response are that the Mayor and TfL should:
• Target action to reduce particulate pollution (PM10) in central London where the problem is worst, and should implement the Liberal Democrat proposal for a Clean Air Zone in central London which would set a Euro IV limit on all diesel vehicles entering the congestion charge and western extension zones.
• Implement phase 3 of the Low Emission Zone in October 2010 as originally planned, if the Mayor decides not to introduce a central London Clean Air Zone (CAZ) or if technical analysis shows the impact of a CAZ would not be sufficient.
• Take urgent and bold measures to improve air quality, because the health impacts of dangerous airborne particles are much worse than previously realised. The Mayor's air quality strategy estimates that there are 4300 premature deaths in London each year due to long-term exposure to air pollution.

Liberal Democrat response to the latest consultation on extending Heathrow
Microsoft Office Document Microsoft Word Document
Uploaded at 4.48.36pm GMT Thu 13th Mar 2008
We consider that the arguments set forth in the Department for Transport's (DfT) 2007 Consultation, Adding Capacity at Heathrow, fail to address the core concerns about the economic, environmental and social impacts of expansion.
The Liberal Democrats are not persuaded by the predominantly economic arguments used by the DfT to justify expansion as they pay too little regard to the full impact that expansion could have on climate change, (including economic impacts), noise levels and air quality. Moreover, we are concerned about the breadth and robustness of the government's consultation and note that the language used has been criticised as being impenetrable. We therefore continue to oppose any further expansion at Heathrow or the relaxation of the current operational restrictions.
