The council should look to have more hedges rather than trees. Hedges have been shown to reduce pollution in urban areas much better than trees as it traps the pollutants at a lower level. Trees require pollutants to travel past head height which means that the pollutants are likely to be breathed in by the population before they are taken in by the trees.
