I might add this is an example of what civic societies such as the Sydenham Society do, and why it is worthwhile for any active citizen to join us!Do you know which areas of London have air pollution that is dangerous for those living, working or attending schools there?
An open meeting will be held for London Forum members, associates, borough representatives and guests to hear about these problems and to discuss the issues about toxic fumes and the actions that will be required.
The event will be at 6pm for 6:30pm on Thursday 15th April at the Gallery, 75 Cowcross Street EC1, near to Farringdon station.
The speaker will be Simon Birkett, Founder of the Campaign for Clean Air in London (CCAL).
CCAL challenged the Mayor's policies which fail adequately to deal with dangerous airborne particles (PM10) and nitrogen dioxide (NOx) in the capital in order to meet required EU air quality legal standards by 2015 when an 80% reduction in current levels of NOx will be required.
I hope you will ensure your group is represented. The event is free for London Forum members and there will be a £3 fee for non-members, payable at the door.
Please advise others you think would be interested.

Unfortunately I shall be enjoying some nice fresh air on the west coast of Ireland that week, so I cannot attend.
