A national NHS campaign is encouraging parents to learn more about how air pollution can trigger asthma attacks in children.

The #AskAboutAsthma campaign runs from the 7th to the 11th of September.

People in Richmond are being urged to sign up to the airTEXT website to receive air pollution forecasts.

Air pollution there exceeds the legal objectives for both nitrogen dioxide and PM10 levels according to the borough’s own action plan.
