Hampshire school crossing patrols could be phased out
Parents have described the prospect of crossing patrols being removed near schools in Hampshire as "criminal".
Hampshire County Council is consulting on removing 21 in Eastleigh, Fareham, the New Forest, Winchester, Havant, Gosport and Test Valley before April 2025 as part plans to save Β£1.1m.
It said there was not enough pedestrian and vehicle movements to warrant the cost of the patrols, which operate at school drop-off and pick-up times.
