When:
Saturday June 10 from 11am-1.30pm.
Where:
At either side of level crossing on the pavements and in front of the crossing (only when the barriers are down).
Friends of Friars Gardens in collaboration with the Churchfield Rd Community Association and Ealing Friends of the Earth are organising a protest to raise awareness among drivers of the harm they are doing to the lungs of residents and themselves – not to mention the planet – by idling their engines while waiting at the level crossing.
Meet: from 10.45am at the main entrance to Acton Central Station.
It will be a polite and non-confrontational protest. The organiser has spoken to the police to ensure that it’s legal and peaceful.
We will be educating drivers with a leaflet from Friends of the Earth with the message”Switch off your engines to protect children’s lungs” (pictured).
There is more about idling here.
