Please see information below from East Renfrewshire Council Roads, Planning and Transportation Department.

As part of our commitment to improving local air quality, East Renfrewshire Council now has powers to issue fixed penalty notices to drivers who don’t switch off their engines when stationary. Council officers will be carrying out patrols around local schools and speaking to drivers who let their vehicles idle unnecessarily.

Air quality within East Renfrewshire is generally good and meets national standards, however we are always keen to make further improvements. Within East Renfrewshire, road traffic is the main source of air pollutants. Parents and others taking children to and from school can help to reduce children’s exposure to exhaust fumes by leaving the car at home, by parking further away from the school and by turning off their engines when stationary.

On Monday 21^st September 2015 Thornliebank Primary will be holding a ‘Sponsored Circuit Challenge’.

Children will take part in a number of fun activity stations and work as hard as they can for set time.

The money raised will be used to improve the physical activity opportunities within the school, help pay for after school clubs, team events and new equipment.

We would appreciate your support and encouragement.  This is part of our health and wellbeing programme within the school as well as an event to raise money.
