Clean Air Day 2022
Safe Parking Pledge ‘Design A Postcard Competition’

This year the Active Travel team would like to promote Clean Air Day by encouraging parents and carers to park safely on the school run. Many families feel unsafe walking or wheeling to school due to unsafe parking, and the air pollution caused by increased congestion can have a negative impact on our children’s health.

With this in mind, we are launching our ‘Safe Parking Pledge’ Design A Postcard Competition where participating schools will receive printed bespoke parking pledges designed by children from your school. Alternatively, schools who do not wish to take part in the competition still have the option to receive Safe Parking Pledge postcards free of charge. Please see the attached file with further details on how to take part Clean_Air_Day_Safe_Parking_Pledge_Competition_.pdf

If you would like to find out more about Clear Air Day or carry out different activities then there are great free resources on the website here Action for clean air | Schools - feel free to send any pledges or activities to mandy.bailey@cumbria.gov.uk and we will celebrate your work on our social media pages.

We look forward to seeing your designs!
