Looks like Labour MPs can talk about the harms of wood burning at their conference. @johnwhitbymp.bsky.social raised it. Who thinks @greenparty.org.uk MPs need to do the same at their conference? #gpconf25 #GPC25

Now there's going to be a leadership contest in the Green Party, does anyone following this account have any opinions on which leader would have the most influence to phase out wood burning in the UK? bright-green.org/2025/05/05/z...

#WoodBurningStoves Great policy recommendations from @asthmalungcymru.bsky.social See full report here: www.asthmaandlung.org.uk/domestic-bur... They should be implemented across the whole of the UK. Does anyone disagree with anything?? @asthmaandlung.org.uk

1. Deliver a national awareness raising campaign to set out clear health advice, including specific guidance to all homes with a wood burning stove or open fire, alongside general messaging on the health impacts of air pollution.
2. Implement a ban on the sale of the most polluting fuels such as house coal and wet wood.
3. Deliver a nation-wide scrappage scheme for the most inefficient wood burners.
4. Legislate for annual MOT-style checks on wood burners and stoves, and a ban on wood burning stoves in new builds.
5. Set up PM2.5 monitoring stations in every community for local authorities to accurately analyse the levels of PM2.5 across different neighbourhoods, identify hotspots and implement more targeted interventions designed to reduce pollution levels.
6. Use data from increased monitoring to communicate health alerts to people living with lung conditions during periods of higher air pollution. This would better support hospitals and general practices to reduce emergency respiratory admissions, reduce hospitalisations and reduce waiting times.
7. Revise all legislation covering Smoke Control Areas to better support local authorities to implement and enforce SCAs. Along with better monitoring, local authorities would be able to better monitor and investigate and control air pollution caused by domestic burning as well as enabling stronger enforcement for repeat offenders.
8. Set targets for local authorities, regarding PM2.5 emissions similar the those for recycling.
9. Be much more ambitious in its implementation of Healthy Air, Healthy Wales.
10. Consider implementing a Wales wide Smoke Control Area to avoid blackspots and to ensure that each community has the relevant air quality and public health protections in place.

This Labour government is not fit for purpose. If there is “no practical way to allow the installation of fossil fuel boilers while also delivering significant carbon savings and ‘zero-carbon ready’ homes” then there should be no practical way to allow wood burning which emits MORE CO₂ than gas.
