Radio Stoke. The air that we breathe it's pretty important in especially for our children you wouldn't want them to drink dirty water where dirty clothes so why clog up the air they breathe with fumes that's just what unwitting parents do every day maybe you're guilty of it when you drop off your kids and pick them up at the school gates and leave the engine on Public Health England says the strong evidence that causes the development of coronary heart disease stroke and lung cancer Paul calls for it's the medical director I'm a doctor I see the fact that 30 to 40000 people each year die as a result of pollution and I see the fact that our children's lungs develop more slowly and less well and they're learning can be impaired by the problem of air pollution the issue is of course that every school is different and it's circumstances different so for there to be a conversation between teachers the school the parents and the local authority on is it easy in this school for children to walk or cycle to school if they are able to or is it difficult because you know there isn't a well designed environment where those cycle routes or walking routes are are safe and people will choose them are you committed to switching your engines off when you do drop your children off if it's at the school or a little way away so they can walk the last piece that's the sort of conversation that we need and we need it at the local level between schools between the parents and and local government and there's every opportunity to do so Stafford County Council says $600.00 deaths a year in the county are caused by air pollution children at a school in Newcastle are trying to do something about it b.b.c. Radio States Hazel Morgan went to meet them after school yesterday. Come to St Margaret's genius. In Newcastle it's not the usual after school pick up here they're all that 20 kids in hives jackets waving balloons and banners stood outside the school gates and that trying to get parents to do this. I'm going to go and meet some of the kids here all braving the cold this afternoon to try and make a difference. Here. We're trying to reduce pollution by doing. So as we talk. To people and say thank you for not. Enough to go on engine running then have way. Too. Much stuff. Because of. That and then the after squad so whenever someone turns and enough. Stuff. And we have. People. And little. Miles so you're a proper little table together so what are you to sweet talk as well how how you find talking to parents. Ok. Are they taking it well when you come to tell them all day what kind of things they've been saying to. Thank you and. We'll make sure that we don't do it anymore and you know all really nice and they don't say no. Thank you that's about it not of no. Every minute. 150. In. The head teacher saying you've got an amazing passionate young people you must be very proud of them stopping parents and chatting to people yeah I can't tell you how proud I am. No so much about it so passionate and I think you know we wanted to make a difference you know not sit idly by and open in 10 days and you know they already changing attitudes and raising awareness of the parents how much of a problem was it for you that when parents were going to pick up that kids it wasn't really conscious and I think we just weren't aware so much of the damage it can cause so you know that's why we're here my name. Is how you finding it. Because it. Is. The schools and all. In the House is if they leave like with us. And they shut the windows or doors thing stays. On I mean it is. Because people are taking kids stay because because we got a call when you go in for 8 minutes 54 it was really long so that's why I would like to start. No one's too small to make a difference. Taser Morgan with children at some moderates junior school in wall stance and in the head teacher David Hugo is on the line with me this morning morning David. How important you think this is for all schools to get the message Chinese parents switch their engines off I think it's so important you know if you walk down a busy road and we've got one right next to school you can smell and breve all that pollution and we don't want that for our children and as you can hear the children so passionate about you know changing that situation and we've already inspired children of the school he will join his country project because our children do now because if your complicity so yet so important the world with your purse missing this morning thinking Well hardly Calcutta are always you know like.

It makes a real difference and you know people might be skeptical some people but it does make a difference you know you you stand next to them you do the research shows clearly from Health England you know you can fill a 150 billions in one minute of toxic gas if you stood next to an idling car so you know times up by 10 or 1500 balloons is is making a difference as a problem so you know that there is a way to understand it the really passion on the age range that you're teaching as well about the environment Yeah I think children can have such an impact you know the response from parents and the adults has been fantastic because as one of the children puts it you know they'll be really polite schools they want they want to look after Rose and and it has been about raising awareness and you know a little boy came past and he says my mom no longer sends an engine she leaps invention off story because I've told her it's so important and I think children are brilliant and we just give them opportunities and they fly you know you can hear the brilliant so different isn't it we're not all going up to another I don't think switch your engine off yeah you had the reactions there in Hazel's pace Yeah I mean it you know if it's a Myself and a couple of staff that you would have more skepticism and a little bit more resistance I'm sure but you know the children just overcome that with their passion and to use it as a moment and it's great to say really it really is thank you so much for coming on this morning really appreciate it Ed teacher David Hugo of St Margaret's junior school in will Stanton What do you make of that our 8012188 c is off free for number here on Johnny because a breakfast I am Rachael I'm from staff and what I enjoy about Stone is the canals awards night and scans of the countryside to the pumps the foods.

This song's been in my head for like days. Out of it put it in your head as well sorry shower and his message me say this has been stuck in my head for 2 days because of you. And to Rob says the same. B.b.c. Radio show John Akers at breakfast. It's them. White now it's not really it's not $371.00 days ago Tom Polk torments Louie stones and others was stood on a stage just outside here outside town Hally town hall for the annual lights switch on it was cold but people were smiling music was playing Christmas was coming down if you've noticed but it's a very different machine no lights up as yet and they'll be no big turn on Jonathan Bellamy's from the business improvement district in Hanley and told b.b.c. Radio stop Stuart George why from a big point of view for us the key is is of the interest of the lead it has the businesses and then of course the united in of the cutbacks and the consultation for that that put everything on hold until there was clarification on the lights that didn't come very quickly from our position is not something that we could take on initially the bid would have much funded any council figure with it up to a point clearly yes 15 k. So that was into putting on an event and of course the issue for isn't really the event it's having Christmas lights to actually switch on you can have a switch on a van without the lights and there's huge figures in that I mean you know if the cancer's trying to cut back I can understand them. Needing to look at something like that because it's significant think is you talking tens of thousands of pounds I would estimate putting lights on to the equivalent of what it was last year in the cities and plus putting on an event switch on event you're probably looking almost around 100000 pounds Abbey Brown leader of Stoke on Trent city council sent us a statement in it she says because they've got to prioritise children's services and they've had less funding they've had to make some difficult decisions which means there's no big switch on this year but she says they'll still be events though there will still be events in the city center from the 21st of November on wards and they'll be 3 Christmas trees in the city center as well to read a few messages on those poles as I think it's ridiculous there are no lights in Hanley it's so important I'm not even bothered about about an event as long as there's lights even me is having a switch on says Paul this morning and so Council has wasted loads of money on l.e.d. Signs instead says Andy in Cheadle he's on about the live traffic parking signs that have been put up a notice one this morning on the a 53 as I came to work on the left hand side in a chair. On that road towards Hanley and literally street by the canal bridge What do you think though is it you know let's say does cost you know 70 grand let's say to have a light switch on to have all the Christmas lights put up is that a good use of your council tax payers money or not or should it be paid for by the businesses in Hanley should there be some funding from elsewhere for it what are you thoughts our 801218080 is my number or you can text a one trouble 3 Start your message with the words. John Akers a breakfast on b.b.c. Radio Stoke and the latest on the rise comes from Jason. Problems this morning John on the a 34 going southbound between Mefford and stone there's been an accident at the Newcastle Rhode Island it's partly blocked it's causing queues on the a 34 and also coming down from stone trying to join on to the a 34 itself number of problems of only a 50 said firstly bridge there's been an accident the a 5 to one roundabout that's causing delays it's partly blocked Thanks to Paul that's giving us a call on that one a bit further along from bridge to the 85 double 2 going a span there was a breakdown earlier that's been cleared but it has left some slow traffic and they get reports that the a $58.00 you talks it or is blocked by an accident at the McDonald's roundabout going east bound as well at the road struggling northbound up towards the m 6 it Bottomley southbound through portal bank and then from Hanford to hand church queuing on the a $34.00 northbound up towards Hanford from Trenton a $53.00 towards a code that remains very slow as well and we've still got lane 3 closed on the m 6 south between 14 and 13 East Stafford that was due to some overrunning road works through the night queues are starting to ease but it does remain very slow on the a 34 heading through Stafford as traffic was using that as a diversion we wrote but if you see a problem this morning you can call us on 801 to warn 8080.
