In Islington, many areas are frequently subject to NO2 concentrations above the level set by regulation in 2010 (40 µg/m3).
Last week, Living Streets held its annual Walking Summit and concluded that far more needs to be done to reduce air pollution and that enabling walking with safer crossings, low traffic neighbourhoods and slower speeds are inclusive ways to achieve this aim.
Already the current Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ) requires pre Euro 4 petrol cars and pre Euro 6 diesel cars to pay a charge to drive in a zone bound by the Inner Ring Road.
The extension to the North Circular Road in October will help further clean up our air. But given that many older people live in the outer suburbs, it should be extended to include outer London.
MPF calls for equalities to be at the heart of economic recovery
As the International Monetary Fund (IMF) began its spring meeting, it released the welcome prediction that the global economy would recover from the Covid downturn. The IMF predicted growth of 6% in 2021 and 4.4% in 2022. However, the IMF also acknowledged that the recovery will be patchy, with poorer countries at a disadvantage.
The MPF welcomed the positive forecast but also called on world economic and political leaders to put the drive for greater equality at the heart of the recovery. The underdeveloped countries that are struggling to deal with Covid will be at a disadvantage when it comes to rebuilding their economies. Many of the world’s poorer countries have majority Muslim populations, and action is needed to ensure that economies in these countries are not left behind.
MPF urges everyone to complete the census on Sunday, 21st March

Unsung hero: Tribute to waterway campaigner
Cllr Ian Rathbone, Lea Bridge ward, writes:
There are people in our community who do a lot to improve our common life but whose contribution may not be heard much about. We sometimes call them “unsung heroes”.
Del Brenner, who died in January, would have laughed at being called a hero but his background work over many decades has meant that we have managed to keep our conservation areas, buildings and wildlife environment, and because of his work, our local canals are used and alive and benefitting all the community.
