Ecclesall Junior School Un-Supervised Zebra Crossing Ringinglow Road

For over two months now, the zebra crossing outside Ecclesall Junior School, Ringinglow Road has not had a school crossing patrol (lollipop lady!).

I have had at least 5 incidents myself where cars have come from either direction and not stopped whilst we are waiting to cross. Every single parent I have spoken to has had the same experience. Some have even been "clipped" by cars who are too impatient to wait.....

This morning (18/12/14), a car was stopped at the zebra crossing and another car overtook this car and was lucky not to mow down the 6 or so children crossing at the time...

This really is an accident waiting to happen.....

I have started this petition to raise awareness of the issue and request that the following is considered asap:

- A new lollipop lady
- Police supervision until a lollipop lady is in place
- A pelican crossing
- A smiley speed sign near to the school in both directions
- Painting the road red with 20 mph signs painted in white

Is this just a case of red tape/money?

Does a child have to be killed or severely injured before action is taken?
