Pupils asked to use the crossings
11:00am Sunday 30th September 2012 in Somerset
PARENTS of Swanmead Community School, Ilminster, pupils are being urged to ensure children use the school crossing patrol.
The patrol begins at 8.30am and then at the end of each school until 4pm at the front of the school building in Ditton Street and then in High Street at the top of North Street.

But can anyone explain why someone has to stand by the crossing by the rec to press the buttons when the schools go in and out?
Parents taking their children to school are quite capable of doing it and at the same time, teach their offspring how to cross safely.
Unaccompanied will children are old enough to press the button themselves.
