While outdoor air pollution often dominates headlines, the air inside our homes is an equally significant, yet overlooked, threat to health.

Poor indoor & outdoor air quality is linked to 28,000 - 36,000 deaths in the UK each year.

This blog reveals the dangers of air pollution & explores how better planning, housing standards & sustainable building practices can create healthier homes.

We're looking forward to the Westminster Hall debate on provision of playgrounds in local authorities later today, led by @TomHayesBmouth.

In our manifesto, we backed the proposal from @PlayEngland and others to introduce legislation guaranteeing play sufficiency for every child, so all children can achieve 60 active minutes a day, of PE, sport and play. 🙌

🗣️ 'Public trust in planning has declined partly due to the consistent drive to marginalise the voice of the public. Communities are assumed to be incapable of understanding their own best interests – leading to infantile name calling around ‘Nimbys’.' https://t.co/SQVcpLw7j4
