Only St Stephen's School has a lollipop lady to help youngsters there cross Gargrave Road. |
I'm looking at Blake the way a little starry-eyed kid looks at a giant lollipop in a candy store. |
A fortnight ago the lollipop lady was taken off the crossing following two near misses, leaving children to fend for themselves. |
I sat back down and resumed my editing, sticking the grape lollipop back in my mouth. |
To the hundreds of children she sees every day, Hazel Martindale is the friendly lollipop lady who helps them cross the road. |
The previous lollipop woman left before Christmas and county council staff have struggled to find anyone suitable for the position. |
