The dirtiest wood-burning stoves could no longer be sold under government plans to meet a tougher air pollution target.
However, the push for cleaner air will stop short of a blanket ban on new stove sales, as some campaigners have called for.

@london.gov.uk is right. Millions of people around the UK are breathing dangerously polluted air. Ella's Law would:

Since Ella Adoo-Kissi-Debrah became the first person in the UK to have air pollution listed as a cause of death, nationwide progress on air pollution hasn’t happened fast enough.
I urge everyone to back Ella's Law – a healthier, fairer future for Britain’s children is at stake.
