The local authority have done their bit, we have a 20 zone, flashing signs and a lolly pop lady - that doesn't stop @holes trying to run her over!

I would ask who's resposibility is it provide this safe crossing?

Should it not be the parents supervising thier children crossing the road?
One local school here has a lollipop lady, but another has no provision at all
