Air pollution in UK now kills 30,000 people and costs £27bn a year, the research, also said there was no safe level of air pollutants. The figure could even be significantly higher – up to £50bn – if dementia taken into account.

Doesn’t happen often here in Falkirk, but if it does it’s too many times.
BBC Look North on W Yorkshire Police OpSnap taking further action against drivers who close pass cyclists. In the last year action was taken against 2,547 drivers who either paid for a retraining course or received a fixed penalty fine or a court summons.

Two years ago today I published this article making the case for phone-freee schools. The case is far stronger today, now that so many schools are getting great results, esp. hearing noise and laughter in the hallways again. https://t.co/psleaVTUIL

They impede learning, stunt relationships, and lessen belonging. They should be banned.

@irnbru …. Out of date by 4years! Any chemical explanation? The fizz is still there. I used it as a visual aid for the start of chemical equilibrium…. My S2 class made me open it!

When schools go truly phone free--collected and stored away for the day--the results are transformative. When phones are only prohibited during class time, they are still very disruptive DURING class. Give kids and teachers a break.
This is one of the great graphics of education policy, and is worthy of deep study. Phones are a scourge, and if you're running a school that allows them *in any way* you are increasing the chances of disruption massively. Control the controllables. @TeacherTapp

20mph What more evidence do you need? 40 per cent fewer people killed, and 75 per cent fewer children killed. Facts that can’t be ignored….
standard.co.uk
The TfL figures about 20mph speed limits in the capital, as published in today’s Standard, underline what many of us have known for years; slower speeds save lives.
