«Breaking News» Parents should be banned from dropping off children in new fight on air pollution say health chiefs

Parents should be stopped from parking outside schools with their engines running when they pick up and drop off their children, health chiefs warn. 

Cars near the school gates are damaging children's health, according to Public Health England which is urging councils to impose tough measures on polluting vehicles.

Congestion charges, bans on cars around schools, lorry bans in city centres and electric car priority parking are being proposed by the agency. 

Air pollution is thought to kill up to 36,000 people per year and can lead to breathing problems, lung cancer and heart attacks.

Public health officials say people leaving their engines running should be condemned in a bid to fight air pollution

Paul Cosford, medical director of Public Health England, said: 'If we’re trying to create an environment where it’s easier for children to walk or cycle to school than be driven to school, then one of the mechanisms could be about restricting driving access to the immediate local environment.'

He said social pressure on people running their engines excessively will prove as useful a deterrent as the potential new measures, The Times reported.

Fines for running engines outside schools have been recommended by the NHS watchdog, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).

Another measure being proposed is congestion charges in cities, but these are dependent on local authorities putting them in place.   

Professor Cosford said: 'We know that local councils are wanting to do this.

'What we’re trying to do is give them the range of evidence of what sort of things might work.'

Subsidised local transport and more car pool lanes are also ideas proposed by the health chiefs.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
