Air Pollution Protest Blocks Brixton
Brixton, London. Thu 14 Sep 2017
The protesters explaine why they feel they have to protest to try
and get some serous action from the Mayor and TfL
who they feel are not doing anything like enough while thousands are
dying before their time because of the
pollution - largely caused by London's traffic.
Many pedestrians take photos and some congratulate the protesters
for taking action
though not everyone is happy to see people trying to save the lives
of their fellow citizens
As promised, after a few minutes the protesters move back to the pavement
and the traffic flows again
Police finally arrive and ask the protesters what they intend to do.
They reassure police they will not cause any long stoppages
Police work on the streets and suffer from the pollution
'Stop Killing Londoners' campaigners move onto the crossing for a
second short protest
Again explaining what they are doing and why
A cyclist stops and supports the protesters
Many cyclists are also aware of the pollution crisis on our streets
- and some also campaign and protest against it
Again the protest is a short one - long enough to make a point and
perhaps get some publicity but a hold-up for
traffic shorter than often takes place at many of London's road junctions.
