Summary of petition
Air pollution in London contributes to 9,500 early deaths every year and is causing thousands of children and babies to develop asthma and breathing problems. Your [the Mayor] target is to bring pollution levels to within safe limits by 2030; that is simply too late for this generation of children. We all deserve better.
We, the undersigned, are calling on you, Mr Mayor, to act now, and act fast; clean and healthy air for Londoners by 2020.
