New London road tunnel ‘devastating’ for ‘UK’s most polluted borough’ independent.co.uk

A new road tunnel in London – due to start being built within months – will be “devastating” for a local borough that is “already the most polluted” in the UK, according to campaigners. 
They urged the mayor to scrap plans for the Silvertown Tunnel, claiming it will be incompatible with targets to reduce traffic in the capital and worsen air quality.
The call came after a meeting with Seb Dance, the city’s deputy mayor for transport, on Tuesday – the anniversary of the death of nine-year-old Ella Kissi-Debrah from south London, for which air pollution was a contributing factor.
