INCREASING traffic has led to a need for more school crossing patrollers throughout the county.
Up to 80,000 parents, pupils and staff take to the roads in Buckinghamshire each day to get to school - meaning there is an even greater need for crossing patrollers.
Bucks County Council has now appealed for volunteers to come forward to act as a lollipop man or lady.
Val Letheren, the county council’s cabinet member for transportation, said: "School Crossing Patrollers do a tremendous job getting our children to school, and home again, safely.
“This in turn helps with wider issues such as encouraging both parents and children to walk to school, reducing traffic congestion around schools and helping to improve everyone's health".
