How do you get a Lollipop person?

Hi :)

Does anyone know what the procedure is to get a lollipop person outside our school?

I spoke to the dep. head and she said it's through the council.

I spoke to the council and they actually have no idea :S they said they will check and get back to me but all they could find was that their numbers are declining and that they think the council does not support them anymore ?!


Anyone knows???

Or maybe, do you know where there is one posted in the borough? I can go and ask them :)


Thank you! :)

Thank you everyone! It turns out it is the council's responsibility. Thanks to your lolli-spotting I asked a good friend of mine to ask the Lollipop person outside Heber and they gave me the phone number of the person who manages them. He said the council employs a company to manage them but I have to talk to the Road safety manager in Southwark and they have to decide if this is necessary. It made me think that maybe there are other options, maybe we can employ that company without the council's involvement? or maybe we can get the parents to volunteer a day and manage the crossing ourselves? I am sure there are health and safety issues to think about but well... it is a start.


One other thing that came up.... The man who manages the lollipop people (sounds like something from the wizard of oz :)) said he is looking for more workers :) So if anyone here is interested let me know and I will give you his number :) you have to work an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon and they pay London wage which is ?9.75 an hour.


Thanks again everyone!

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
