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!

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
