Save our School Crossing Patrol Service

Walsall Council must not remove the School Crossing Patrol Service from Category 2 Crossings. Whilst we understand the increasingly difficult decisions the council are faced with to save £86million in the next 3 years.  Compare the cost of one accident against the cost of one SCP warden (£4,709.02 p.a.) Ambulance, police, hospital admissions, ongoing care, rehabilitation, loss of earnings, legal prosecution costs, defence costs and courts costs.  These far outweigh the cost of one SCP wage.

The government’s own national statistics show a dramatic fall in the number of casualties and deaths at crossings with human control.
(see Department for Transport statistics at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/reported-road-casualties-great-britain-annual-report-2015)

This essential service saves lives, saves injury, saves families and saves money.
