Piarve's story

I prefer to drive. I’ve always found Southwark is really difficult with transport because nothing’s really quite connected. It’s just easier and quicker to drive. 

I don’t think the air quality’s great in London. I know it’s caused a lot of health issues for people, especially young kids. Sometimes, when it’s a cold, misty day you can feel the air is thicker, but it’s not in my face or something I’ve really considered. I’ve just never thought about it.

Certain areas just have a certain smell, like if you go intro central you can just smell petrol fumes.

It’s a good idea but at the same time I don’t know who’ll benefit from it. It’s good for the environment maybe, but a lot of parents will probably struggle with it. So it’s not very fair.

It will just deviate the problem. Because if you think about it, when you block off one road it just means all the cars will go to another road. So you’re causing probably just as bad pollution and traffic in another area.

I know driving loads is bad and you get smelly air or whatever. I know it exists and I know it’s bad and I know how I’m contributing to it. But I guess I’m like, yeah, I’m not fully aware of the implications.
