Motion G

Improving air quality around schools

Proposed by: Cllr Palmer

Seconded by: Cllr Cawley- Harrison

 

Council notes:

  1. That according to Haringey’s Air Quality Annual Report for 2017 that local residents are exposed to unsafe levels of pollutants (especially nitrogen dioxide)
  2. That road transport is the principal source of both particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide pollution in London.
  3. That a 2018 report from London Councils states that nitrogen dioxide. “impact on children is especially bad, with epidemiological studies showing that symptoms of bronchitis in asthmatic children increase in association with long-term exposure to NO2, as well as stunting lung growth”.
  4. That in February 2019, Lordship School became the first school in Haringey to operate ‘No-Idling Zones’ during drop-off and collection times.
  5. That a number of other London boroughs including Hackney, Camden and Greenwich operate a number of ‘School Streets’ whereby only pedestrians and cyclists can use roads close to a school’s entrance at start and finish times.

Council believes:

  1. That air pollution poses a serious threat to the health of young people.
  2. That whilst many of the policy interventions to rectify this problem would have to come from a national government or the Mayor of London, Haringey Council needs to do more.
  3. That there should be more School Streets and No-Idling Zones around Haringey Schools.
  4. That in the long term, Haringey should move towards them becoming universal at every school in the borough.
  5. That it is important to provide parents with healthier and less polluting alternatives to driving their children to school. Therefore, the Council should invest more in walking and cycling.

Council resolves:

  1. To implement School Streets or No-Idling Zones around every primary school in the borough by 2022.
  2. To increase spending on active travel in future budgets.
  3. To conduct a feasibility study of using a Workplace Parking Levy as a way to fund this.
  4. To encourage local businesses to sponsor green walls on school buildings and tree planting near schools.

 

 

 

Motion H

 

Declaring a Climate Emergency

 

Proposed by: Cllr Hearn

Seconded by: Cllr Say

 

Full Council notes:

1.  Humans have already caused irreversible climate change, the impacts of which are being felt around the world. Global temperatures have already increased by 1 degree Celsius from pre-industrial levels. Atmospheric CO2 levels are above 400 parts per million (ppm). This exceeds the 350 ppm deemed to be a safe level for humanity;

2.  In order to reduce the chance of runaway Global Warming and limit the effects of Climate Breakdown, it is imperative that we reduce our CO2eq (carbon equivalent) emissions from their current 6.5 tonnes per person per year to less than 2 tonnes as soon as possible;

 

3.  Individuals cannot be expected to make this reduction on their own. Society needs to change its laws, taxation, infrastructure, etc., to make low carbon living easier and the new norm.  And these carbon emissions result from both production and consumption;

4.  Unfortunately, our current plans and actions are not enough. The world is on track to overshoot the  ...  view the full agenda text for item 13.
