This petition is signed in protest at the proposed removal of the 3 Lollipop People who man the two schools crossings on East Dulwich Grove. These are Bert Campbell, who works the crossing patrol at the junction of Village Way, Red Post Hill, East Dulwich Grove and Dulwich Village and the two lollipop people on the crossing at the Townley Road/ East Dulwich Grove junction. These three people perform an essential task in ensuring child safety at these junctions. We, the undersigned, urge Southwark Council to reconsider their decision and to retain these essential patrols as a matter of priority.

One thousand people have put their names to this fight to keep our crossing guards. It is draining to keep pushing against a blank wall at the council offices but seeing this support reminds me why we started.

One hundred people have signed to keep Bert and the others at their posts. It is exhausting work to keep fighting this council but seeing these names makes me believe we might actually save these crossings.

Bert is a legend. seen him through rain and snow helping kids get over. shows the council dont care about the community at all.

Ridiculous decision. traffic is bad enough as it is without removing the only people watching out for the little ones.

East Dulwich Grove is way too busy for kids to be crossing alone. keep them there.
