 Lincolnshire is the latest county to report a crossing warden shortage. |
A quarter of lollipop crossing warden jobs outside Lincolnshire schools remain unfilled. Road safety officials are looking to recruit for 130 posts, with the shortfall blamed on a lack of people coming forward for the jobs.
Parents are being asked to take more responsibility for their children's safety on the way to and from school.
Principal road safety officer Grev Burgess says the situation was not likely to improve in the short term.
