Lollipop Cuts Protest

Families angry at plans to cut lollipop patrols across Dorset have marched to County Hall. The local authority needs to make savings of nearly 60 million pounds to balance its books and wants to stop funding patrols in a bid to claw back £200,000.

For previous coverage, see the In the Press tab.

"No ifs, No buts, No Lollipop Cuts!"

 
We have just finished the March to County hall, it was a great turnout in the cold weather. The amount of signatures handed in was 9040. (compared to the 5000 target.) The event has already been reported on Wessex FM, and reporters attended from BBC, ITV West Country, the  Dorset Echo, the View from Weymouth and the Western Gazette.

Once again, I would like to give a massive thank you to everyone who signed, marched and gave their continued support. However, I would encourage everyone to continue the protest by emailing or writing to our councillors and MPs. Hopefully we will have done enough to change the Council's decision in the meeting on the 17th February.
