School crossing patrols
School crossing patrol officers ensure children can cross the
road safely at dangerous points on their journey to school.
How do you decide where to place a school crossing patrol?
School crossing patrols are provided at priority sites where
children are in danger from road traffic when walking to and from
school. This is not necessarily directly outside a school but could
be anywhere on a busy route.
Can I request a school crossing patrol?
Requests for additional school crossing patrols can be made to
transportation and highways. Following a request we will survey the
area to see if it meets the national criteria which includes a
vehicle and pedestrian count. If approved, and funding is
available, the council will seek to recruit volunteer wardens to
staff the new site.
How many school crossing patrols does Tower Hamlets
operate?
Currently we have nine school crossing patrols in operation.
