Andy, the Lollipop man who operates the school crossing patrol in Temple Road says he is worried about the future if the Council cuts get the go ahead. “I have been doing this job for three years. I love doing my job, it is very rewarding and you feel a great sense of responsibility. You are there for the kids, and the adults. Road safety is not something to gamble with.”
”And what everyone is forgetting – schools are prevented from doing so by School Finance Regulations. So it is actually illegal to ask school to do this. That means the Council will be asking parents and local businesses to pay. We believe this is wrong – road safety is the responsibility of the Council. They must see senses and drop the proposals”
The closing date for the petition is tomorrow December 16th and protestors are urging as many people as possible to sign it before then. Click on https://democratic.trafford.gov.uk/mgEPetitionDisplay.aspx?ID=71&RPID=983309&HPID=983309 if you want to add your name.
