COUNCILLOR Dave Merrett believes that the Government’s reluctance to improve air quality is leading to an EU fine.

Years ago the EU did similar over our sewage, littered beaches and dirty drinking water. Bully for the EU. One of the many benefits of being in the EU.

British governments are far too good at following American ideology, which is all in favour of allowing industry and the public to pollute the world as much as they want.

Reality is, in many ways the EU is more interested in our wellbeing than some European governments.

They have my full support (the EU), and I thank Cllr Merrett for bringing it to our notice.
