Save our lollipop service in Haydock, St Helens (Grange Valley/ Clipsley Lane)

Each year, 5,000 children under 16 are seriously injured or die on Britain’s roads.

The incident rate for children peaks between 8am and 9am, when they are travelling to school, and again at 3pm when they are on their way home.

Without the lollipop/ school crossing patrol service, the community will be put at risk as they try to cross such a busy road at peak times to and from school.
