Environmental and Health Campaigners have criticised the governments long awaited clean air strategy, saying it doesnt go far or fast enough to tackle pollution in our towns and cities. The plan, ordered by the high court, includes a ban on new petrol and diesel vehicles from 2040, and measures which could allow local councils much sooner to change road layouts, remove speed humps or penalise the dirtiest vehicles. The aim is to encourage us all to switch to electric vehicles. Heres our science editor david shukman. 0n the worst days, the pollution hangs like a mist over our cities.
