Summary

With air pollution in our congested city contributing to respiratory illness and shortening the life expectancies of residents - we ask local air quality campaigners what improvements have been made, and what more could be done?

We're joined by Viola Langley, Rod Bailey & Tim Sheerman Chase from 'Let Pompey Breathe'. We also have an interview from Cllr Peter Candlish - the cabinet member for Traffic & Transportation on Portsmouth City Council.
