Less than 15 minutes Causes a bit more pollution though as it takes longer than the direct route Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it's a bit alarmist to say between 250 and 500 people die every year from pollution in sheffield.complete nonsense Totally agree that banding about such figures is alarmist, unhelpful and clearly made up. Any downward movement in life expectancy caused by air pollution would be hidden by upward movement due better healthcare, disease control, preventive care and treatments. Removal and reduction of some pollutants since the 50's will also have contributed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised that the government want us all to live longer as this would then put additional pressure on the health system, state pensions and long term residential care.

Give it 2-3 years and suddenly there will be a report that the levels in the areas surrounding the current CAZ are now 'excessively polluted' and the zone will be extended. It's almost carbon copy of what Kommandant Khan has done with ULEZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
