Earls Court air pollution

  • Reference: 2021/4058
  • Question by: Zack Polanski
  • Meeting date: 14 October 2021
Given the Mayor’s initiative for London as the world’s first National Park City, why is the Earls Court Masterplan site not greened on a temporary basis before works start? According to Friends of the Earth, Earls Court has some of the worst air pollution in the country and we are living in a climate emergency. Although part of the site in Hammersmith and Fulham is currently being used for meanwhile use, that still leaves approximately 22 acres of wasteland which could be green with no need for the ground to be broken.
