Car idling outside schools putting kids 'health at risk'
Ms Jewell said: "Stationary idling is something that people do sometimes without thinking, but it is so deeply damaging to children's lungs."
She called for a ban on stationary idling to be introduced before the next Senedd election.
Ken Skates MS, cabinet secretary for transport, supported the call and described the behaviour as 'truly antisocial.
Mr Skates said: "I just cannot comprehend why parents would leave their cars idling around not just their children but other children."
Joseph Carter, head of Asthma + Lung UK Cymru, warned that children are especially vulnerable to emissions, despite idling already being an offence.
He said: "Car idling produces up to 150 balloons of exhaust emissions per minute."

Caerphilly secondary school pupils win STEM challenge
The group from St Martin's School in Caerphilly will now enjoy a VIP visit to Silverstone after winning the British Council's Learning Sectors competition. Supported by Formula 1, the programme connects schools in the UK, South Africa, and India to tackle real-world science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM) challenges. Francisco Lopez, lead teacher at St Martin's School, said: "What started as a small school project quickly grew beyond expectations. "The students worked independently, reached out to experts such as Welsh Water and developed not just one idea but a range of thoughtful, realistic solutions. "They learned that global issues like water scarcity aren't just engineering problems – they involve people, politics, and empathy." The Caerphilly pupils partnered with Hoërskool Koffiefontein in South Africa, whose students highlighted a serious water supply issue in their town. Through video calls and research, the Welsh students developed a plan addressing technical solutions and the broader social and economic context of the crisis. In return, the South African pupils explored the UK's cost of living crisis, focusing on ways to reduce energy and heating costs. Mr Lopez said the win was a shock. He said: "I was over the moon – especially for the students. "I ran to tell the headteacher. "The competition across the UK was fierce, and honestly, I didn't expect to win. "I had to read the announcement email twice. "This is a memory they'll carry for the rest of their lives. "Some are big F1 fans and they couldn't believe they'd be VIP guests." As part of their prize, the eight-strong team – four boys and four girls – will meet Formula 1 engineers, tour the paddock, and see how STEM is used in elite motorsport. The Learning Sectors programme aims to reach 700 schools worldwide in its first year.

Money from 20mph fines 'should be used to fix potholes'
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info North Wales Live readers have been actively expressing their opinions following a recent discussion by the North Wales Police and Crime Panel on the default 20mph speed limit. The chairwoman of the police panel has urged councillors to petition their local authorities for the installation of additional fixed speeding cameras to apprehend those flouting the 20mph limit. During their June meeting at Conwy's Coed Pella headquarters, the North Wales Police and Crime Panel learnt about instances where drivers were clocked at speeds of 51mph, 61mph, and even 83mph in areas with a 20mph restriction. Supt Simon Barrasford delivered a briefing on road policing to the panel, providing updates on speeding incidents since the implementation of the 20mph standard speed limit in Wales. The panel was informed of the difficulties police encounter in enforcing the new limit, particularly with many motorists and holidaymakers entering from England, where the traditional 30mph limit remains. However, the revelation that all "top five fixed camera locations" are situated in Flintshire led Supt Barrasford to advise that councillors could request additional cameras for their districts, potentially supported by funding from the Welsh Government. One reader, Newiboy suggests: "All the money from the fines should be put to filling potholes it the the Welsh government's fault that it is no longer safe to drive at 30mph due to failing to provide local authorities with the cash to repair roads." AlbertKelly adds: "Yet again there are numerous comments about this being a 'money making scheme' but yet again ignoring the fact that you have complete choice as whether or not you break the law. Abide by the law and you won't pay a penny - the vast majority of the population are quite capable of doing this." Forestdragon believes: "The councils are in no hurry to reinstate 30 on the through-routes, though, are they? How long do we have to wait for that? Several of the most productive roads named are likely to be reversed, for example the A5104 Pontybodkin to Coed Talon, and the A5119 Flint, Northop Road. Surely it's unethical to continue to enforce 20 on these roads simply because they are dragging their feet with the restoration?" Notspendingmymoneyonwaleseveragain writes: "After a 5 hour (60 mile) journey to have a long weekend in a place I used to love (North Wales). I got a £100 fine and 3 points and I have no idea where the 30 in a 20 zone happened (exactly 30 mph!), don't remember seeing a sign. I'm no loss to Wales really, but I CBA risking more points just to spend my cash there!" Poshscouser says: "I find this 20 mph to be quite nonsensical and dangerous insofar as personally being tailgated by imbeciles who refuse to accept the 20 mph limit." Indigodebz comments: "As a huge majority don't keep to 20mph and it's impossible to draw any conclusions. We will also not know if drivers change their route and have an accident on another faster road. Certainly my cycling route on country lanes at the back of the village is busier with cars and I am more in fear of being hit by a driver than ever." Angleseygirl writes: "Well if this article doesn't just prove what we've all been saying! The 20 mph is purely for catching drivers as a money making machine and nothing to do with safety!" Morpick agrees: "Was supposed to be about Road safety or so the story goes. In reality it is just a money making scam." Jimmyj adds: "Hope the councils and go slow I mean sorry Go safe don't spend to much as after Labour removed next year at the Senedd elections. This 20mph nonsense will be overturned by Reform." Confusing says: "Everybody now needs a car with cruise control hit 20 press the button. Then they won't be able to take the money off you, although they're probably come up with another way." Steamnut thinks: "So there is money for cameras but not repairing potholes? Shows where the priorities are. Also, they are playing with the numbers. One year of numbers were used to show serious injuries down by 19.4% and slight injuries down by 43.9%. And, at the same time they discounted 'fatalities had increased on these roads by 200%'. You cannot pick and chose just to win the argument. Once we have five years of figures we will be able to see the clear trends. A more important figure is the number of disqualified and uninsured drivers on our roads that are repeat offenders and which rarely go to jail."

Over 500 Denbighshire staff trained to use EV fleet
Denbighshire County Council has trained more than 500 staff through its Electric Vehicle (EV) Fleet programme, which supports the authority's transition to a cleaner, low-emission fleet. Martin Griffiths, fleet mobility lead officer at Denbighshire County Council, said: "As part of our council climate change and nature recovery strategy, we are committed to reducing carbon emissions across the local authority, which includes our fleet. "We have been transitioning our end-of-life fossil fuel-powered vehicles over to electric with significant support from Welsh and UK government departments to help us cut down on emissions produced and also reduce long-term costs for miles and maintenance across all services our fleet supplies to." The council's efforts follow its declaration of a Climate and Nature Emergency in 2019 and have resulted in more than 20 per cent of its fleet now being made up of zero-emission vehicles—one of the highest proportions in Wales. To ensure staff can operate the vehicles safely and efficiently, the in-house training covers the use of EV charging infrastructure, regenerative braking, and selecting the correct driving mode for different conditions. Four qualification levels are offered, covering cars and small vans through to LGVs, buses, plant machinery, and instructor certification. David Baker, senior driver training and assessment officer, said: "A key part of this is helping staff actually learn more about what an EV can do positively for travel and for the environment and coaching them to get the best out of this equipment. "Our in-house trainer supports with getting to grips with how regenerative braking works to extend range and reduce conventional wear and tear on normal brakes. "They look at how to smooth out driving to avoid harsh acceleration which impacts on battery performance." The council says the scheme is not only reducing emissions, but also lowering running costs and helping staff become more confident with EV technology. Mr Baker said: "Effectively the training helps maximise the ability of these cars driven by staff to increase vehicle efficiency and reduce long-term costs. "It's also good to help individual staff as well to make their own decisions regarding moving to an EV for personal use." The programme has attracted interest from other Welsh authorities. Mr Griffiths said: "We are sharing our good practice and experiences with other Welsh councils and public sector bodies to help them with their own transition to zero emission."
