Pupils at two schools in Motherwell are encouraging motorists to clean up their act in a drive to improve air quality.

And now pupils at both schools have been busy designing posters to highlight the issue with their clean air campaign.Get all the news from your area – as well as features, entertainment, sport and the latest on Lanarkshire’s recovery from the coronavirus pandemic – straight to your fingertips, 24/7. Three pupils - Emelia Rose Bissett, Millie McCready and Mollie Connell – all aged 11, created the Muirhouse winning design. While the St Brendan’s winning design was the work of Olivia McNeil, 10.

“The protest made me feel like I had the right to be heard and protest and stand up for what I believe in. I am happy that our voices have been heard and can make a difference,” said Rose Summers, P7 at Muirhouse Primary.“It has been wonderful to have both schools working together on this important issue,” added Katie Jamieson, head teacher at Muirhouse Primary.

“The winning posters are superb and I’m sure they will drive home the message that keeping your engine on outside the school gates and parking where you shouldn’t be is completely unacceptable,” he added. “And both schools participated in a joint assembly/coffee morning as part of the ‘We Are Muirhouse’ project, before the Easter break.”
