Exercise 5
Environmental campaigners have called for a ban on 
traffic in the city centre. This comes after pollution 
levels were found to be dangerously high for two years 
running. The campaigners' plans to turn the city centre 
into a car-free zone have met with support from city 
residents. Campaign spokesman Derek Shields said: 
'Closing the city centre to traffic would result in lower 
carbon emissions and make the city a more pleasant 
place to live. It's time for the city authorities to step in 
and address this problem.'
