No Child Should Be Forced To Breathe Toxic Air. Please sign this petition demanding action on tackling air pollution, launched by @AirTeamUK and 3 mums including one of our group members, Vicky. @HealthyAirUK @FriendsofWPSch actions.airteam.uk/sign
There's a new page on William Patten school website with some of the air quality projects we've been working on over the past couple of years. Green screen, clean air walking maps, monitoring and a soundscape project to name a few #cleanairforchildren williampatten.hackney.sch.uk…

While @XRLondon raised awareness of our #AirPollution crisis in Leicester Square - we showed our support with another street sign takeover in Euston. Toxic air is polluting our lungs!

Shocking research findings into how living near a main road can affect your health. We can’t all just move, so we will have to campaign even harder! @AirTeamUK @HealthyAirUK @clean_air4 theguardian.com/environment/…

New research from @KingsCollegeLon finds that living near a busy road stunts children's lung growth by up to 14%. Discover more of the reports findings on the impacts of #AirPollution on our health:

TfL signs £1bn contract to build #SilvertownTunnel. 😖
Campaign group @SilvertownTn said @MayorofLondon had "betrayed #Londoners" by signing the contract for an "outdated climate-wrecking toxic tunnel." thisislocallondon.co.uk/news…

Prof Jon Griggs, uk leading paediatrician on effects of air pollution: “It is important that any road closure does not displace traffic to other roads that children may use to get to school.” If you support this scheme, you go against the advice of uk leading paediatrician – at Hackney, London

Reception and nursery kids at William Patten were thrilled to take home the clean air route map for Stoke Newington yesterday, helping kids find #cleanair routes to school and breathe in less #pollution

William Patten 🤔 that's the primary school with the bus stop right next to the playground! 500 TfL buses a day brake, idle & accelerate just a few feet away from where hundreds of young children play and the master plan is to send more traffic along this road? 😳 @FriendsofWPSch

96% of the children at William Pattern primary school already walk, scoot or cycle. I've visited and seen the problem first hand and this is not going to be a Mini Holland, it's going to increase #airpollution exposure for 3,500 kids whose nurseries/schools are on the main roads.
CleanAir4WilliamPatten retweeted
A 2019 Kings College London study showed children on main roads are exposed to almost double the #airpollution as on back streets, yet the council’s plan is to close side roads and further increase traffic on the main roads where 3,500 young children attend nursery & school? 😳

Lead story on @BBCLondonNews today. Members of our group express concerns about road closures by @hackneycouncil which would increase pollution for 3,500 children at 7 schools and nurseries @HealthyAirUK @MumsForLungs @LittleNinjaUK

"We are sleepwalking into a major health disaster and it's time we stopped and thought about it for a minute” - Ellen, Mum of two, taking action against #AirPollution with other parents today in Leeds city centre, one of the most polluted areas in the UK outside of London.
All kids have the right to breathe clean air. We need to make it happen ASAP. No ifs, no buts, we need action now! These kids have done a great job at raising awareness today. V proud of them!
@FriendsofWPSch Nitrogen dioxide levels last year were more than TWICE the legal limit in London - Our brilliant air stewards are in Bromley by Bow today raising awareness about #AirPollution as a result.
They deserve better - please share if you agree! airteam.uk

Omg! @BBCNews is here to film our brilliant air stewards!
6,500 schools in the UK are in areas where #AirPollution exceeds @WHO limits.
We're in Bromley by Bow today raising awareness and calling for urgent action to get solutions in place.
These kids deserve better ✊😷

Also, let's not forget the young children whose school playgrounds are right next to busy bus stops, who are running, jumping, screaming, playing in levels of #airpollution that will stunt their lung & brain growth. 😰

Misleading article @TheTimes ☹️
The road closures aren’t around a school. They are closing side roads with no schools and diverting traffic and increasing #airpollution on roads with 7 schools & 7 nurseries. These parents actively support school streets. thetimes.co.uk/article/clean…
