1. What will you do about Brent’s dirty buses?
2. How will you protect our schools from air pollution?
3. When will you start fining idling vehicles?

Meeting with Caroline Pidgeon 12.3.18
Members of the CAfB steering group met Caroline Pidgeon, Liberal Democrat London Assembly Member and Deputy Chair of the Transport Committee at her office at City Hall on 12th March along with Lib Dem Peer and spokesperson on energy, Lynne Featherstone, at the instigation of Virginia Brand, chair of QPARA. CAfB was delighted to find such whole-hearted Lib Dem concern with the problems of air quality in London. Caroline is actively addressing pollution in London and had just proposed a motion on anti-idling that was passed unanimously. Discussion centered around shared concerns over this topic and issues surrounding the London bus fleet, its composition and implementation. Caroline committed to help CAfB find answers to questions posed to TfL and both sides are looking forward to working together further.
Clean Air Day
We are looking for a volunteer to help plan and organise a daytime event or meeting on Clean Air Day 21st June in conjunction with Friends of the Earth and Brent Council One member of the steering group will be involved and it would be useful to have someone else who is available during the day on that date. If you would like to help arrange this please email back with ’21 June’ in the subject line.
Donations
CAfB is run by volunteers and so far has a small expenditure which is kept buoyant with donations from our supporters. If you would like to make a donation please email us and we will tell you how.
