  • last year
The mother of the first person in the UK to have air pollution listed as a cause of death has said the expansion of the ULEZ to outer London next year will save lives.

Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, the mother of nine-year-old Ella-Adoo-Kissi-Debrah who died in 2013 following a severe asthma attack, made worse by air pollution, said that this action has to happen.

On Friday the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan announced that the ultra low emission zone (ULEZ) will be rolled out across all of outer London from August 2023.

Mayor Khan says the move will tackle air pollution, the climate emergency and congestion, and “ensure five million more Londoners can breathe cleaner air”.
