I have a 7 year old daughter with asthma. We live on a main road in just outside the South Circular where cars get stuck in morning and evening rush hour and chug out fumes. In winter, when there's even more traffic, my daughter is frequently up all night coughing. So far we have not been able to move home, as flat prices/rent in the same area are now unaffordable.

“The family cannot open windows for fresh air as this acrid smoke will always blow into the house. My Grandson cannot play outside in his back garden due to the smoke.” — David, West Midlands
