SCHOOL CROSSING WARDENS

Early day motion 228, tabled 18 January 2001 by Paul Truswell (Labour). Signed by 67 members.

That this House pays tribute to the invaluable contribution made to communities throughout the land by school crossing wardens; acknowledges that their irreplaceable road safety role is often performed in adverse conditions; views with concern the increasing difficulties that schools and local education authorities are experiencing in filling vacancies for wardens; and calls on the Government and local government bodies to review the role and remuneration of this important position with a view to rewarding existing wardens and attracting others in the future.
