I'm not sreaming - and understand your point about kids intelligence. But, there is the issue of motorists jumping lights and chancing ill timed turns. Our kids would not read a motorists intentions as they do not drive, whereas an adult may pick up if a vehicle is going to chance at the lights. For me, this is the issue. We need our lollipop people!

With the threat of a Councillor Call for Action (CCfa) from fellow Lib Dem Cllr Robin Crookshank-Hilton and the planned demo this morning the administration last night announced they'd 'found' ?50,000 to save all the lollipop patrols for one year.

The campaigning in the Dulwich area has led to all 10 patrols across Southwark being saved for now.


Talking to the managers concerned they undertook a study of lollipop patrol useage on 4 & 5 April. However, some schools broke up noon 5 April and others 6 April with many kids collected that week in cars due to the volume of end of term course work to be taken home. It seems clear that the CCfA, which would have been the first in Southwark, would have shown the basis for the lollipop analysis was funadamentally flawed.


Well done kids, parents, school staff and Robin for saving all Southwark lollipop patrols for now.

    • Using the smart CCTV cameras is your best strategy - particularly if they have adequate infra-red capability. Setting them to be triggered by line crossing or areas of intrusion is worthwhile setting up as is linking them to a PIR sensor. The PIR could also be used to activate a sounder but that might upset your other neighbours. I have a few cameras around our property and I enjoy reviewing the recordings and apart from foxes and birds, I catch the occasional opportunistic thief on camera - like this one last Tuesday. If you need any help, please drop me a PM. S7.mp4
    • Not in Ed, but I was in NE England over the weekend and saw an otter in the wild! Never seen one before, it was quite lovely.
    • Well unless the heron got them later, there were the  two cootlets. I think some others of this year's babies must have escaped the heron. Many years ago (and possibly still, though I never see them any more) there was a whole heron family on the island  - mum, dad and youngster. I don't know how long herons live. Maybe this one is the grown up youngster.
