In the latest EFRA select committee, Barry questioned Marvin Rees, Mayor of Bristol, and Cllr Matthew Holmes, Dep. Leader Derby City Council on tackling air quality in towns and cities.
Barry’s first series of questioning focused on Clean Air Zones. We learnt that Bristol may go ahead and implement a clean air zone, whereas Derby has decided on traffic management instead. The question finished with Barry asking both witnesses about their clean air strategy.
Barry then rounded off the committee meeting by asking both witnesses how they are trying to balance air pollution with the need for economic recovery.
