School Crossing Patrols

School crossing patrols ensure the travel to and from school, for local children, is as safe as possible.

How do you decide where to place a School Crossing Patrol?

School Crossing Patrols are provided where children are in danger from road traffic when walking to and from school. This is not necessarily directly outside a school but could be anywhere on a direct route.

Can I request a School Crossing Patrol?

Requests for additional school crossing patrols can be made by contacting us, see contact details below. Following a request we will survey the area to see if it meets the national criteria which includes a vehicle and pedestrian count.

How many School Crossing Patrols does the Council Operate?

Currently we have 44 school crossing patrols in operation.
