Overturn Aberdeenshire/other councils decision to scrap crossing patrollers
Due to lethally dangerous roads and drivers, I am raising a petition to get councils to overturn the decision to scrap school crossing patrollers across the nation, this is due to the fact that patrollers have been trained to step infront of vehicles, risking their life's.
School crossing patrollers are highly trained to assess the speed of vehicles and to safely stop traffic where necessary. Children and members of the public, may not be able to judge the speed of an oncoming vehicle which may potentially result in a serious accident or potential death of a child or member of public. With this in mind, having the patrollers makes a huge impact on the lives of children, and the general public. Therefore, having patrollers means saving lives well risking theirs.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about provision of traffic controllers are a matter for individual local authorities, and in Scotland responsibility for most areas of transport policy lies with the Scottish Parliament, not the UK Government or UK Parliament.
You could raise your issue with a local councillor who represents you. You can find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them, by entering your post code here: www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors
The Scottish Parliament has its own Public Petitions Committee. If you'd like to send your petition to the Scottish Parliament, you can find out more here: http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/gettinginvolved/petitions/index.aspx
