How will the removal of Euro V and Euro VI exhaust emission rated Streetlite vehicles and replacement with Citaros built between 2002 and 2008 rated at Euro III help in reducing the dangerous levels of pollution found in the City centre by Worcester City Council and reported in the attached link from December 2018 article?

Particularly worrying is the exclusive use of Citaros on the 35 through the highly polluted Lowesmoor and Rainbow Hill areas. Or have all the Citaros been upgraded to Euro 6 since being put into service? Shouldn't all cities and towns benefit from Nationwide laws on permitted emissions rather than in specific locations such as Leicester and Birmingham? Why will railway DMUs and large diesel locomotives rated at Euro IIIA be allowed to spew out heavy black smoke in said restriction zones when buses, lorries and cars are banned below Euro 6?
