Save Our Community School Crossing Patrol Warden

Some of you may have heard on the grapevine that there may be plans to remove the School Crossing Warden due to this service being under used.

We are concerned about the possibility of losing this service after a long and hard campaign by parents and our association to try and improve the road safety in our area.

To avoid this from happening could parents please encourage their children to use the School Crossing   Warden rather than take an alternative route to school.

There are approximately 20 children per day currently using this service but to make it cost-effective 50 would be a more ideal number.

We have been told that the School Crossing Warden and the Head of the School are considering offering a reward scheme of some sort for children who use the School Crossing Warden.

It is extremely important that parents taking their children to school who have not used the service could you please start to use the Warden now.  “If we do not use it we may lose it.”

Please share this news with your friends on Facebook and help us keep everyone in the local area informed of what is happening in our community.
