I agree to an extent, but what about the "blame" culture that seems endemic these days? Imagine the tabloid outcry against the local authority when the first child is killed in a spot that used to have a Lollypop person, and the subsequent inevitable prosecution for negligence! The Councils will end up paying out more in compensation than it would have cost to keep the Lollypop persons in the first place!
