Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah has been campaigning for cleaner air in UK cities.
The mother of a nine-year-old girl who died from exposure to London’s traffic said she is “concerned” about poorer people being impacted by expanding the ultra-low emission zone .
Her mother Rosamund has campaigned for cleaner air in UK cities since Ella’s death and is a strong supporter of the Ulez expansion, saying Tuesday was “a good day for everyone” but said “individual things need to be looked at”. Asked about concerns over costs, Ms Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, from Lewisham, told the PA news agency: “I’m not in charge of the scheme but every scheme you bring in, there are teething problems and also I’d like to think all blue badge holders now can access the scrappage scheme. Again, if they don’t, they need to contact the mayor’s office.”No matter what scheme you bring in, there will always be people adversely affected, we need to limit it as much as possible.
“Unfortunately, it does cost to clean up the air and this isn’t a party political thing, we need the Government to contribute because the more money there is in the scrappage scheme, you can bring more people in.
