Breathing better now
• WITH regard your story on air pollution (We break the law and people know nothing about it, May 21) I lived on Finchley Road for 18 years.
During that time I developed skin rashes, sore eyes, asthma and finally lung disease.
I often asked the council to install anti-pollution paving stones which have been trialled in Holborn and used worldwide.
The response was that it was not statistically effective enough.
I also asked for bushes to soak up the particles, to be planted on the main highway as has been done in Shepherds Bush, but TfL would not maintain them. For the past five months I was on oxygen for 15 hours a day. Then I moved to the coast and need oxygen no more!
