LOCAL NEWS 6 Crossing Patrol is 70! Lollipop men and women from across Staffordshire are celebrating the 70th anniversary of the School Crossing Patrol service (SCP). The service was created in 1953 with the first official patrol starting the year after. While the uniform and sign have changed slightly to meet modern standards, and patrols can now stop traffic to cross any pedestrian, adult or child, the role is essentially the same today as it was 70 years ago. Staffordshire has more than 220 patrols, working outside schools and busy sections of roads, including people from all walks of life. Currently the youngest patrol is 26 and the oldest is 83.

Residents living near the park in Barnard Way, Cannock, are being given the opportunity to feedback on the design of the new play area. The existing equipment was installed in 1991 and is not inclusive. The refurbishments will include, the provision of a new accessible and equipped play area, new formal hard surfaced footpaths and tree planting. Work will start in the summer with completion due autumn 2023. The Council is seeking the views of local residents on the design of the new play area via a short online survey. The closing date is Monday 17th July. Visit www.cannockchasedc.gov.uk/ne wparks. ........................................................... Cyclist Route Created Cyclists and pedestrians in Cannock are enjoying smoother and safer journeys thanks to a £1.3 million investment. The Staffordshire County Council scheme included major cycling improvements to the A5190 Lichfield Road and A4601 Hednesford Road. The new cycleway now runs two-way from the Old Hednesford Road junction, along Hednesford Road and onto Lichfield Road, ending near to the ASDA supermarket. It gives people a safer, easy to navigate cycleway and has separation for pedestrians, cyclists and traffic. The project was funded by the Department for Transport’s Active Travel Fund grant. ........................................................... School Uniform Donations Needed Many families continue to benefit from a project which has provided over 8,500 items of school uniform worth almost £57,000. The Pre-Loved Uniform Markets (PLUM), run by Staffordshire County Council’s libraries service and The Salvation Army, allow families in Stafford and Cannock to pick up items of clothing to help support them with their children’s school uniform needs. With the next markets happening during the summer holidays, organisers are asking people to donate their unwanted items. School trousers, skirts, shirts and branded school sweatshirts of any size can be dropped off at Stafford and Cannock libraries. Items should be in good condition and washed ready for the markets. Further details on the project are available on Staffordshire Libraries Facebook page.
