Air pollution at a traffic hotspot in Birdlip, Gloucestershire, needs to be investigated, an MEP is demanding.

Sir Graham Watson, the Liberal Democrat Euro MP for the South West, is writing to the government and hopes the matter will be taken “very seriously”.

He was made aware of the concerns by a Cotswold councillor asking what could be done about high levels of nitrogen oxide (NO2) in the area off the A417.

Cotswold District Council led a public consultation into the issue in 2011.
