Brighton and Hove traffic pollution above EU limits

Pollution caused by traffic is above legal requirements in most parts of Brighton and Hove, a report has found.

The study by Brighton and Hove City Council found that 46 out of 63 locations recorded pollution levels above EU targets during 2011.

Councillors are now likely to back a drive to cut fumes and airborne particles caused mainly by vehicles, the local authority said.

The council said the city risked being fined millions under EU legislation.
