Clean Air, Construction, And Communities | In Conversation With Angela Fonso Of CASH

City Centric Podcast

This episode is the first of a three part series in which we interview 3 integral members of the Clean Air for Southall & Hayes (CASH) campaign group based in west London, close to Heathrow Airport. The group started in 2017 when neighbours began noticing a putrid, gasoline like smell in the air and people reported breathing problems. They also noticed that this coincided with construction works beginning on a contested former gasworks site close to their homes. What has developed is a case of environmental injustice and suffering for one of London's communities. It highlights the failures of national and local government regulations for construction and community protection, as well as the apparent community neglect or care in favour of business interests. This conversation is with one of the campaign's leads Angela Fonso.
