Little lungs are paying for #Dieselgate every day. This morning we gathered at the Royal Courts of Justice on day one of the biggest ever group claim trial in English legal history. It’s time the car manufacturers paid. #AirPollution #Health

Over 8,000 pupils are enrolled across schools in Belsize Park, Hampstead & Frognal. With so many students making daily journeys, even small shifts to walking, cycling, or scooting could significantly reduce traffic and pollution in the area. 🌿🚶🚲 #ActiveTravel #CleanAirForKids #SchoolRunStats

Healthy school streets make a big difference — safer, cleaner, and happier journeys for kids and families. 🚶🚲💚 It’s amazing what communities can achieve when we prioritise health and safety on the school run. Let’s keep pushing for more! 💪

🚸 Our streets weren’t always ruled by cars. They used to be places for children to play, neighbours to meet, and communities to thrive. In our latest blog, we explore how we lost that - and how we can bring it back. Read & join the conversation 👉 www.linkedin.com/pulse/from-s...

There are 30 schools in the small area of Belsize Park, Hampstead, and Frognal alone. That’s a lot of children, parents — and daily journeys. Imagine the impact if more of those school runs were walked, cycled or scooted instead of driven. Cleaner air. Safer streets. Healthier starts. 🌿👟🚲

🚙 SUVs are becoming more common in NW3 — and they pose a greater risk to children. Studies show kids are significantly more likely to be fatally injured if hit by an SUV vs. a regular car. It’s time to demand safer streets and rethink vehicle choices around our schools 💚 #RoadSafety #SafeStreets
