Roads - school crossing patrols
Rochdale Council currently provides 69 School
Crossing Patrols, ensuring that local children get to and from
school as safely as possible.
Placing a school crossing
School Crossing Patrols are provided where children are in
danger from road traffic when walking to and from school. This is
not necessarily directly outside a school but could be anywhere on
a direct route.
Requesting a school crossing patrol
Anyone can make a request, simply contact the Road Safety Unit.
Following a request we will survey the area to see if it meets the
national criteria which includes a vehicle and pedestrian
count.
School crossing patrol vacancies
We have positions for School Crossing Patrols and Standby School
Crossing Patrols. As a School Crossing Patrol you will cover a set
location within the Borough usually between the hours of 8am-9.15am
and 3pm-4pm during school term time.
As a Standby School Crossing Patrol you will cover for the
School Crossing Patrols during periods of sickness absence. The
hours of work are the same but your location will vary.
A Standby position can often lead to a permanent position.
