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.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
