  1. ClientEarth and European Commission lawyers told EU judges UK Government plans will not meet nitrogen dioxide limits in London, Birmingham and Leeds until after 2030
  2. Until now, the government has maintained it would meet nitrogen dioxide limits by 2025 in London and by 2020 in 15 other zones.
