?83k to research whether BAME and poor people are capable of changing their behaviour to improve their air quality? If you live on Court Lane then keep your 2 massive cars and log burner and 8 plus long haul flights a year and we can just close your road to traffic and send it off elsewhere. BUT if you?re poor let?s see if we can move the traffic to you and then make you responsible for your air quality? That?s actually abusive. This is disgusting. This is a Labour Council? Really??? legalalien Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Was googling to see how much Southwark had spent > on the external consultant helping to pull the > climate strategy together (?60k contract) and came > across the online contract register.
