Well done to all involved in #CleanAirDay actions in & around Preston Street Primary this morning šššAir pollution notices were handed out before school on behalf of the Parent Council Transport & Environment Committee before school by volunteer campaigersš#Edinburgh #LEZ 
These notices highlight the unique position of Preston Street Primary sitting diectly on the boundary of a āLow Emission Zoneā which skirts two sides of a primary school building. Step out of the playground at either side of the building and you step directly outside the #LEZ
As far as we are aware there are no current plans to extend the LEZ coverage area beyond the current plans. Hopefully this will change when there is #AirPollution data available once the current zone is in operation. #ActiveTravel #Edinburgh #LEZ

CORRECTION: The 5/29 edition of Pluralistic quoted $20k Rebyota; this was the rumored pre-release price; the actual average wholesale price is $10.8k. Thanks to Benjamin Jolley for catching this error, and to Stephen Skolnick for getting to the bottom of it.
