How school children in Whitley Bay are working to tackle air pollution

Children from Rockcliffe First School, in Whitley Bay, are showing their support to a campaign to help reduce localised air pollution.

North Tyneside Council launched an anti-idling campaign to encourage motorists to switch off their engines when stationary – and the school is the latest to back the campaign.

Headteacher Sharron Colpitts-Elliott said: “Our school community is very considerate so if any drivers do happen to leave their engines running nearby, we know it would be completely unintentional – that’s why this campaign is so important to raise awareness about the harm vehicle idling can do. We look forward to working further with the Go Smarter team on the anti-idling campaign."
