Rejected petition Keep the lollipop men and women

From Sept 2016 the council is getting rid of lollipop people from outside schools if there's a crossing. I think that lollipop people are a necessity for the safety of our children. At the start and end of the school day the roads around the school are very busy and child safety should be a priority
