Anti-Idling day

2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Wednesday, June 28, 2017

Clapham Common

We all know that vehicle pollutants are linked to a range of health conditions, from asthma and bronchitis, to heart disease and cancer – but many motorists still adopt this bad habit of leaving the engine running when stationary.

With funding from the Mayor’s Air Quality Fund, twelve councils – including Lambeth – have banded together to encourage drivers to give up their idling habit once and for all!

Anti-Idling volunteers will be taking to the streets of Clapham to talk to motorists – focusing on idling hot spots, chatting to any drivers who are idling, to encourage the drivers to give up the idling habit for good, they  will be on hand with some of the eye-opening facts about air pollution, such as the fact that vehicle pollution stunts lung growth in children and causes a range of respiratory disorders.

Vehicle Idling Action events will be running every month and if you are interested in becoming a volunteer and helping to improve your local air quality please contact sustainability@lambeth.gov.uk
