The Worst Air Pollution In England

Run By: Guildford Living Lab, GCARE

The title none of us wanted, parts of Guildford now have the worst air pollution in the country! This is a public health crisis in the making, and aside from the obvious impacts of childhood asthma, heart and lung disease, high levels of air pollution also correlate closely with elevated depression and mental health issues. Air pollution that is constantly at illegal limits is simply unacceptable, and an avoidable problem, yet one local decision makers are trying to push more cars onto the road through A3 expansion and even the ludicrous proposal of a tunnel! Living Lab conduct research and provide solutions that we can implement to cut the impact of these pollution levels, so come along and join the discussion about how we can ditch this unwanted title and work together to prevent emissions and health risks increasing through unnecessary and proven ineffective infrastructure proposals.
