Rejected petition Discuss how the Isle of Wight council shouldn't get rid of lollipop persons

Rejected on 2 March 2016

I was informed today that due to council cut backs the Isle of Wight council are getting rid of all the lollipop people. The lollipop lady at my children's school saves a least 4 kids a week from getting knocked down by cars/vans. She makes sure even the older children get across the road safe
