Cllr Cahal Burke: Kirklees should create School Crossing Patrol on George Street.

Currently children are in danger from road traffic when walking to school in Lindley.

The School Crossing Patrols are an integral part of the council’s Road Safety Policy. We want to create an environment which gives parents the confidence to allow their children to use alternatives to the car for their journey to and from school. Without the School Crossing Patrols it is likely that many parents would not allow their children to walk to school.

Road safety is an issue to which great importance is attached by both central and local government. The Government, through local councils, is also seeking to promote a series of measures which are designed to reduce car journeys and encourage alternative means of transport. Examples include School Travel Plans and School Safety Zones.

Lets get Kirklees Council to establish a School Crossing Patrol Service on George Street in Lindley. This will ensure that children and adults can travel easily and safely whilst on their journeys to and from school.
