Why Asthma stats from BHRUT and Redbridge Council are important to our campaign

 I am seeking detailed statistics about asthma from BHRUT and Redbridge Council.

As the research https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC526385/ suggests living by busy roads is linked to increased asthma risk.

One of my requests has led to BHRUT supplying me with 6000 lines of data at link https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/asthma_statistics?nocache=incoming-1614814#incoming-1614814

 I am appealing for more information from BHRUT for attendance numbers by the beginning of the second half of the postcode. At the moment BHRUT is only supplying the first half of the code, this makes it difficult to judge how close living by a busy road is linked to asthma.

I am also seeking information from Redbridge Council about care plans and inhalers.

If we can establish children are at more risk of poor health if they live by busy roads it will put pressure on Tescos to withdraw their toxic plan.
