Something that was understood by the government when it was labour led who Read more »

How’s your breathing, do you suffer with hay fever? Well if your breathing has been affected recently it may not have been because of pollen. It seems that the European Commission has been threatening Britain with legal action for allowing more unhealthy PM10 particulate matter airborne pollution than permitted under EU legislation.

I mentioned a couple of weeks ago the dangers lurking in cars that could make drivers and passengers very ill. The point has now been re-iterated at a recent ACFO conference whereby the danger of catching Legionnaires disease, as a result of stagnant water in windscreen washer bottles, was mentioned but from the point of view of employer liability.

I can’t remember writing about the emissions based parking charges introduced by Richmond council in South West London although I seem to remember reading about it somewhere.
