MEET the new crossing patrol officer who will be based outside Winwick Primary School on Myddleton Lane.

Jeffrey Frain stepped up to the role this month after a recruitment drive was launched before the summer holidays to replace the previous crossing patrol officer.

Cllr Hans Mundry, executive board member for transport, welcomed the news. 

He said: “Funding is very limited for school crossing patrols but we are very pleased we have managed to secure someone for this role.”
