Lollipop Patrols Given A Licking

Wanted - 9,000 lollipop staff with thick skins and nerves of steel. A quarter of school crossing patrol vacancies remain unfilled because volunteers are put off by abuse from motorists and pedestrians.

02nd February 2005

Local Authority Road Safety Officers' Association chairman Steve Whitehouse said: "Young mums or the retired - who make up most patrols - are deterred by verbal abuse."

By law, drivers must stop for lollipop men and women. However, crossing patrols were involved in 100 accidents last year.
