@FriendsofWPSch parent and clean air 4 schools member Vicky is front page of @hackneygazette talking about her mission to tackle toxic air @AirTeamUK hackneygazette.co.uk/news/en…
Perhaps enforcement team could go down there this week every day and ask parents not to park there? Otherwise it’s just doing more harm than good
Please ask your team to re-visit st Mary’s school street on church st ASAP. Instead of parking on the little side street, parents are now parking on church st which is a narrow main road, which causes congestion and pollution as cars, buses and hgvs are idling waiting to pass.

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Campaign group @SilvertownTn said @MayorofLondon had "betrayed #Londoners" by signing the contract for an "outdated climate-wrecking toxic tunnel."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
No we are saying the same thing, but in different ways. Nicola saying he said the LEN could be v. controversial. And im recalling he said (therefore) the plans the council propose are likely to be uncontroversial ones, so more likely to get through.
That’s right Nicola. He was very frank. And officers present at car free day event said the same - most likely to be something uncontroversial like banning trucks

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.
