Crazy decision on crossing patrols puts schools in impossible situation, say Lib Dems

Rochdale Borough's Lib Dem Leader Councillor Andy Kelly has claimed that a Council decision means that schools will be forced to choose between pupil safety or their quality of education. He was speaking after teachers and governors spoke of their fury over a Council decision to force schools to meet the costs of school crossing patrols. Currently, the Council meet this cost. Councillor Kelly maintains that meeting the £4,533 a year cost, per patrol should remain the responsibility of the Council. Many schools in the Borough also have more than one school crossing patrol.
