@galalaw@brinsleydresden@LewisSilkin The ASA ruling wasnt about whether wood burning causes pollution, but whether Btn Council proved its specific claim that a 78% increase in winter pollution near 4 schools was caused by wood burners and open fires.
Lewes Silkin seem to struggle to diffrentiate between the two.
ASA quite rightly pull Council up on their 'Cosy Killer' campaign after they advertised misleading & unsubstantiated claims against wood burning stoves

@NbrsVsWoodSmoke@bhcitynews Hi. We clean & service chimneys daily, whilst also educating people in the practical steps they can take to reduce emissions, We'd wager we do more than most to reduce pollution across the city. We also prefer the official government statistics - https://t.co/rUS27AiGrW
Really encouraging NAEI report just published: ‘The reduction in PM2.5 emissions from small combustion in recent years reflects introduction of cleaner residential wood-burning appliances into the market…’
Our innovation is making a difference & we will continue to improve!
The SIA was delighted to take part in the #PoliticsLive programme on the @BBC today.

A shout out to the amazing Chimney Sweeps: 'Stigmatising somebody for {maintaining their chimney} is like
stigmatising taking your car to the mechanic!' @PurpleSweep

@PatrickjaLee@CityofYork It’s legal to burn wood in a SCA within a DEFRA approved appliance. But I agree. Council’s should put their energy into publicising the law and enforcing the rules they already have. Sadly it seems easier for them to promote absolutist and divisive campaigns.
