The Labour councillors at Yerbury Primary School 

• OUR St George’s and Junction Labour councillors are right to say that Ocado “refuse to acknowledge the evidence presented to them by experts about the damage to children’s health from air pollution, including particulate matter generated by electric vehicles.” (Ocado ignore the concerns of local people, May 21).

As a resident of an adjacent street to the proposed Ocado site, I rely on our councillors to keep up their opposition to the giant depot, which would cause vehicular traffic day and night next to the Yerbury Primary School and in front of our windows.

Particulate matter comes from tyres and brakes, whether the vehicle is electric or not. Massive amounts of energy and resources also go into making the vehicles, and that generates more pollution.

However, if councillors know that a lot of pollution comes from electric vehicles, why is Islington Council filling the borough with electric charging points for precisely those vehicles?
