Today I asked the Education Department of Dundee City Council for an assurance that school crossing patrollers (lollipop men and women) will be in place when the new West End Schools open in October on Blackness Road. I did this after hearing about problems in providing school crossing patrollers at 14 school crossings across the city.
It is important that road safety is given a top priority at the new West End campus from day one. I am asking that the council looks at the areas where there should be crossing patrollers and provides them from day one of the new West End schools.
I understand how difficult it is to staff every school crossing in the city and that dealing with illness is a problem but I do think that we need to give serious thought to looking at ways in which we can ensure that gaps are filled. School crossing patrollers do a great job and we need to ensure that the safety of children on their way to school is promoted.
