Elmwood schools long serving lollypop man has been informed that his services are no longer required.

Brian has been in post for almost 15 years and has a passion for keeping parents and children safe whilst crossing a busy Hull bridge Road. He provides a warm welcome everyday to everyone; children and parents alike will miss his daily greetings.

Hull Bridge Road is a busy road that is a main bus route and one of the main roads in South Woodham Ferrers that serves the railway station and local convenience shops. A large volume of walking families need to cross the road in order to get to the school. So Essex County Council decision to remove Brian could lead to a potential accident.

By signing this petition you are supporting our concern for children's safety whilst crossing the road to school - thank you!
