How often had they been updating it before - was it every 3 or 6 months? No updated data for 8 months suggests there is either one due or they have stopped publishing it.

You bring up another issue, past data should also be accessible, so residents can see the association of change with council policy, school holidays and seasonal effects. It’s all very poor - if you consider how much easier it is to collect and collate data now, the previous detailed report I added to the thread puts newer Council bodies  to shame.

The last Labour Government had plans for a national framework of Low Emission Zones.   They also put in place the Climate Change Act that placed legal targets for cutting CO2 emissions - which we are now failing.   The coalition government went backwards on this, and successive Tory governments talked the talk without walking the walk, resulting in some of the mess we are in today.  Hopefully Helen Hayes is old school and believes that drivers can no longer drive when they like, where they like, how they like if we are serious about saving the planet.

Please stay on subject - this is about how information about our residential roads is made available to us, not about road closures or emission zones. Discuss those in the lounge.

Just responding to the post mentioning Helen Hayes.  Thought you good folk would want to be reminded how much the environment has been neglected under recent governments.

It does look that way.

And Malumbu, please stop. It is clear what you are up to.

Malumbu, please stay on topic. Admin, perhaps you could police this - some people seem determined to take threads off topic.

Thought that the good citizens of SE22 and beyond would be interested in the attached chart showing sources of NO2 emissions, an earlier post said that it was all large vehicles and cars were not the problem.   Diesel cars are responsible for around a third of the emissions from local traffic.

 

The good news is that with the introduction of the latest Euro standards for diesel cars, that stop manufacturers cheating in the tests, NO2 emissions will continue to fall from diesel vehicles as the fleet turns over.  This is helped further by expanding the ULEZ - I understand that half the vans in outer London are older and more polluting vehicles - surely the citizens of Bexley, Harrow, Sutton and Enfield will be pleased.
