Rejected petition Stop the scrapping of Lollipop Ladies/Gents and putting our children at risk.
My 4 year old daughter and lots of her friends use our local Lollipop Lady to cross the road to school every morning. We have now found out that funding for this service is to be cut. In my opinion this is putting the safety of our children at risk and needs to be reversed.

This as always been an important service and needs to continue.

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This decision is the responsibility of your local council.
You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:

You could start a new petition asking Parliament to change the law, so that local councils are legally required to provide funding for school crossing supervision.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
