I joined pupils at Corngreaves Academy on Clean Air Day to launch a new schools programme on air pollution.
We read a brilliant story together and talked about how the air we breathe affects our health — and how we can all help.
Clean air is a right, not a privilege — and education is where action starts.

Great to catch up with @CleanAirJustice & @MumsForLungs campaigners before Council y'day. Despite success of Clean Air Zone which has reduced NOx emissions in city centre, still so much to be done on air quality in Brum: that's why #HealthyAirCoalition's key asks are crucial 🫁

Every year, around 2,300 people in the West Midlands die early due to long-term exposure to air pollution. It's unacceptable.
I’ve introduced a new pollution monitoring system across the region to tackle this crisis.
It’s great to see organisations like Birmingham Healthy Air Coalition supporting my mission to improve air quality and give West Midlands residents healthier lives. – at Birmingham, England
