Taking action: Ruth Kettle-Frisby wants to clear the air

‘The Launders Lane crisis speaks to my inmost Light.’

by Ruth Kettle-Frisby 4th October 2024

Two years ago, two other local mums and I set up on organisation called ‘Clear the Air In Havering’. We created it to support clean air initiatives, including School Streets and the expansion of London’s Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ). Air pollution is a thorny topic where I live; legitimate concerns are frequently entangled with ideological politics, car culture, and Islamophobia. We wanted to: raise awareness about air pollution; tackle misinformation; and champion the right to clean air for everyone.
