As I understand it there needs to be a certain amount of 'customers' to warrant a lollipop lady. You need to have your wits about you near a school, especially one on a main road but LCC won't employ lollipop ladies for less than a certain number.

If there isn't enough children crossing Union Road to warrant a Lollipop lady/man, then the school should drum into their children they should walk up to the clinic, to use the Pelican Crossing there.

I hope the little lad pulls through.

The school discourage parents and children from crossing directly outside school. Letters have been sent out on several occasions. You're right. They should use the crossing near the clinic.

I hope the little lad makes a recovery too.
