I've received the latest Waltham Forest Council propaganda leaflet, and this one has on its front page some puff about how the Council is taking steps to reduce air pollution. Page 2 has an essay from the Council Leader which begins: "London's toxic air is a catastrophic public health crisis and it gets worse every single day."

This same Council has recently forced me to drive further - and thereby generate more air pollution - by closing two roads in our neighbourhood and forcing local motorists onto Leyton High Road even if they wish to go in the opposite direction.
