Our Air In Action: Idling

The students taking part in the Our Air, Our Action project carried out a review of car-idling around their school and found a mixed picture across the local area. Battersea Road and Culvert Road showed encouraging results, with no idling vehicles. Because of red lines and here potentially drivers are generally being receptive to cleaner-air messages. 

Dagnall Street, however, told a different story: a few parents left engines running whilst waiting for their children. As the students who were observing pointed out this created unnecessary pollution at one of the busiest times of the day, and affected young lungs. The findings give the students a clear focus for their next steps as they work to reduce exposure to harmful emissions and promote healthier travel habits in their community.
