An appeal has been launched to find lollipop people for school crossings in Falmouth.

Two people are needed to fill roles as school crossing patrol officers every weekday morning and afternoon in term times.

The roles are on Killigrew Street, serving King Charles Primary, and Mongleath Road, serving St Mary's Catholic Primary.

It is a sociable job as part of the community, helping ensure the safety of pupils as they cross busy roads.

Emily Seiler, the Falmouth Town Councillor for Arwenack told Nub News:

"In recent years the crossing on Dracaena Avenue and Albany Roads have had funding cut, and it is only through community efforts to partially fund it, that the position on Albany Road has been kept –

ensuring safe passage for King Charles Primary School pupils.

"Last year, Angie, who monitored the crossing on the top of Killigrew Street retired, and although the position still exists, Cormac has said they are struggling to recruit for it.

"Further investigation showed that there are many empty positions across the county, including on Mongleath Road (St Mary's Catholic Primary) which remain unfilled, and we fear the roles are very likely to be cut if left empty for any period of time."

Interested? If you are a sociable and reliable person, who would consider taking over the Killigrew Street or Mongleath Avenue crossings, get in touch through the Corserv Ltd website to ensure that pupils can continue crossing safely.
