Agenda Item 35

Public Questions

Question from Mr Adrian Hill

Brighton & Hove has some of the worst air quality in the UK.  However the city has some of the most relaxed regulations on emissions.
Studies show that ⅓ of all asthma cases in cities similar to ours are caused by air pollution.  Air pollution is also a significant cause of heart disease, lung cancer, diabetes, developmental problems in children and dementia.
Could the NHS do more to request that the council implement air quality improvements effectively without delay?
