Time to phase out old vans with their engines idling, churning out foul emissions for kids to breathe in. By Martin Love

The heatwave means that the queues for cooling ice-creams will be longer than ever this weekend. But the old vans with their idling engines are also churning out harmful emissions to the parents and kids waiting in line. Close your eyes and you can almost hear the throb of the engine and taste the smell of diesel exhaust in the back of your throat.

Well hopefully it emits ice-cream!
