Closed Save Liverpool's School Crossing Patrols

Closed on

Stop the Cuts!!
Save Liverpool's School Crossing Patrols
Save Lives!!

The Government should intervene to stop Local Authorities such as Liverpool City Council cutting the School Crossing Patrol Service, which is not currently a statutory requirement. This is a matter of national road safety and should not be decided by local authority accountants.

All evidence shows that removing the service will lead to injuries and deaths to young people. In the words of Prime Minister David Cameron, (when adding his support to the UN Decade of Action For Road Safety in May 2011): “Road accidents are still the leading cause of death for British teenagers and young adults – with the loss of six or seven people in road crashes every day.”

Local Authorities should not be able to cut the service and endanger young lives not just in Liverpool but across the UK.
