So why was there no pollution alert from City Hall during the episode caused by fireworks over the weekend? I’m told there was a problem with the data that usually comes from @imperialcollege .. by the time the alert went out it for Tuesday it had cleared. Not VG.
A DATA DILEMMA: We all use data centres but where do we put new ones? What is London doing about data centres when many communities don't want them. More on @BBCLondonNews at 1330 / 1830 BBC1 and @YouTube later. Longish read below:

Main episode occurred over the weekend into Monday - exactly 74 years after the GREAT SMOG. It's tailing off now and rain should clear the air later. Good summary below from @LondonAir
On the Mayoral pollution alert - the monitors show low levels (1/2) now compared to the weekend when there was a pollution episode (9/10) due to fireworks /wood burning. The salient point is why the alert wasn’t issued at the weekend? AQ campaigners want a national alert system.
High pollution alert issued for London. Fog trapping fireworks / wood burning / exhaust emissions BUT: “some rain around midday .. should help to clear the stagnant conditions of the past few days that allowed for the build up of particulates from Guy Fawkes and Diwali” (LAQN)

Ten years on, we are remembering the seven people who lost their lives in the Croydon tram crash. Our thoughts are with their loved ones and with all those injured and affected.
We also think of the emergency services who responded on scene and in control rooms that day.
Ceremony underway at New Addington to mark 10 years on from Croydon Tram crash. 7 died & 61 were injured.
