'No the government haven't taken it seriously enough' 10 years on from the death of Ella Kissi-Debrah, the first person to have air pollution officially listed as a cause of death, her mother explains why more action is needed. PoliticsLondon |

Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah spoke to the BBC ahead of the 10th anniversary of her daughter's death

Speaking about the overlap between her work and the project, she said the places where the scheme has been implemented have benefitted from "better air than other parts". Ms Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, from Lewisham in south-east London, told BBC Radio London her whole family continue to be deeply affected by her daughter's death, including her other children who were in the hospital that day.Discussing how her grief has changed in the decade since Ella passed away, Ms Adoo-Kissi-Debrah said her emotions are "different" now but "the yearning, that has never changed".

However, Ms Adoo-Kissi-Debrah believes not all traffic schemes are as beneficial as others, and said LTNs "show the division" between the most and least deprived Londoners.
