Public views sought on car vehicle pollution

Sheffield Council has launched a public consultation on the benefits of introducing by-laws to prevent vehicle idling while waiting to pick up passengers. The move follows new guidance from health experts at the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence which suggest a ‘no vehicle idling’ law would help protect people from harmful effects of air pollution. The creation and enforcement of by-laws to prevent vehicle idling could apply to cars waiting outside schools, hospitals, care homes and other locations in the city where air pollution could be significantly reduced.
