It’s time to get dirty vehicles off our roads

Editorial

Few things are more important than the community’s health. Yet the government seems to be more concerned with business reaction than with our well-being when it comes to roadside air pollution. It’s a problem that should be easy to tackle: it simply has to get off the streets the old commercial diesel buses and trucks that are mostly the reason for the poor readings. With yet another voluntary scheme having failed, it is time to get priorities right and get tough.
