Poor air quality alerts continue to be rolled out across the Upper Hunter, with several issued today thanks to nearby fire activity.
But a local environment group is pushing for lower air pollution levels year-round, and there’s been little commitment from the major political parties days out from the federal election.
Start now to cover every coal wagon.Within 3 years why can’t every waggon be dust secure.Health is the issue and is a major health issue.Suburbs close to the rail line are going to benefit a lot as well as those to where the coal laden dust travels in the wind.
Time to stop trying to save a buck and get on with it.Cover the waggons properly anfd completely to solve this issue.
