What the petition asks

Health campaigners say Britain is facing an “air pollution crisis”. It is estimated that the lives of 40,000 to 50,000 people in the UK are ended prematurely every year. Yet technology exists to solve this problem. By introducing new zero emission buses, dirty diesel buses will be phased out.
