SAVE Lindley's School Crossing Patrol before Kirklees cut this job permanently

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Lindley NEEDS its lollypop man; not only does he cheer everyone who sees him, but to cross Lidget Street & Hollybank Road safely would be impossible without him.
Kirklees are threatening to cut all school crossing patrols. There are over 860children at the schools; and yet more houses are planned.

Houses are constantly being built in this village. The village has two of the largest schools in the region.
Children and parents are actively encouraged to walk to school.
The two roads that Sean - the lolly pop man - patrols have no pedestrian crossings or safe areas to wait on.
The speed limit hasn't been reduced to 20mph like it has around other schools.
The police constantly patrol to monitor the atrocious driving and parking along these roads.
In short:LINDLEY NEEDS ITS LOLLYPOP MAN
