Members of the Communities Against Gatwick Noise and Emissions – CAGNE – say: “Everyone deserves the right to clean air even those that live close to an airfield.”

A new law over the right to clean air has passed in the House of Lords and is now heading to the Commons to be scrutinised by MPs.

The Clean Air (Human Rights) Bill is also known as Ella’s Law and is named after Ella Adoo Kissi-Debrah, a nine-year-old girl who died following an asthma attack in 2013.
