School crossing patroller back in Blackness Road

As reported in last night's "Evening Telegraph", I was relieved to be informed that, as of this week, the ‘missing’ school crossing patroller problem (following staff illness and vacancies) at the Kelso steps crossing in Blackness Road is now resolved and a new patroller has been trained as is now on duty.

Many pupils from both Blackness Primary School and Harris Academy cross there and parents were naturally concerned when the crossing was not being staffed by a patroller.   Blackness Road is a very busy bus route and I was therefore pleased that a new patroller is again covering the crossing.
