Residents are looking forward to welcoming back the lollipop lady to the crossing point on Askham Lane shortly.
To help her—and make crossing safer throughout the whole of the day—parents have asked Andrew Waller to push for the installation of a pedestrian crossing..

The campaign is also aimed at improving parking discipline where pedestrians are being put at risk.
The petition reads
For many years the community has benefitted from a school crossing patrol on Askham Lane but since Christmas the council has not been able to provide this, and residents are concerned that there is risk to pedestrians (young and old) on what is a very busy road.
We the undersigned request that a pedestrian crossing is established at the crossing point on Askham Lane to Westfield School. This is to assist with the safe crossing by residents, especially school children, on this busy road.
