I'm delighted that the lack of a school “lollipop” person on the very busy Hawkhill, for pupils of Blackness Primary School, has now been resolved and as of this week a patroller is on duty. See earlier story about this by clicking on the link above.
I was contacted by worried parents about the lack of a patroller due to illness of the post holder. Hawkhill is an extremely busy road at the best of times, but with the current roadworks on Perth Road, traffic is being diverted onto Hawkhill, including the bus services, and both they and I were extremely concerned at the lack of provision.
Interviews were thereafter held for additional staff and the subsequent delay was due to the need for health and disclosure checks before new staff can be appointed but I am very pleased that the matter is now resolved.
