Pollution

Its like all these fads.Who in their right mind would install a wood burner in an urban area and pay through the nose for wood to burn? The same ones who use a 4x4 or large SUV to take the kids to school. The only sensible place is the countryside with free wood access, but what do I, a yokel know.

So true

Many thanks for your input folks.  The subject has been on the news recently and I don't think any decisions have been taken yet.

They haven’t K👍🏻, I checked my area on the BBC ‘pollution checker’ scores from 1 to 6, my area is a 1 so I don’t see a ban in my or my Children’s lifetime👍🏻😊

Our area in Hertfordshire is also a one out of six and we are two mile from A1M motorway and never venture out during the nightmare of morning and evening "rush hours"

All this baning of this and that because of pollution can be dealt with by a simple straightforward principal. Simply limit the population density to what the environment can support. Perhaps 12 people to an acre would be a good starting point.

I'm down on the coast and, unsurprisingly score 1. My daughter lives in Putney and even there is only 2, although Wansdworth overall is 3. An industrial city like Sheffield doesn't appear to be badly polluted, so what criteria is actually being applied?

Stand close to a queue of traffic anywhere in a city during the rush hour with a bus and a couple of lorries and it will seem pretty grim. Traffic congestion seems to be the real problem and the solution there is a decent efficient reasonably priced public transport system and we seem incapable of delivering that.

In order to remove pollution altogether we must go back to living like the cave dwellers.

Didn’t they burn wood on their fires?🤔

Not before about 1.5 million years ago.
