I am publishing the speech made by Michelle Goldsmith at Brent Cabinet, presenting a petition about the cuts in school crosssing patrols, as a Guest Blog as it raises many pertinent issues.
Another
petition where children lose out.
This
petition is asking the Council to review their intention to sack all School
Crossing Patrols in Brent. I appreciate
that these are difficult times with huge cuts in funding, but cutting road
safety services too far will mean
more people being killed or injured. Apart from the human cost, it just doesn’t
make financial sense – road accidents can cost millions of pounds so preventing
them saves millions of pounds.
