Save Our School Crossing Patrols

Schools feel there is a great need for crossing patrols to be kept to maintain the safety of children and families when crossing the busy roads to and from school. Pelican crossings are not as safe, they wouldn't be watching for children running out into the road before it is safe to cross and our crossing patrols also teach the children how to cross properly and safely and play a vital role in developing our communities. When the Government is trying to promote healthy lifestyles, surely it is a false economy to axe crossing patrols which encourage families to walk to school. Please sign this petition to ask that the crossing patrols are kept, we believe that the safety of our children should be a priority.
