A CALL has gone out for more lollipop patrol people in Leigh.

The service needs a boost after a drop in the number of people coming forward to man school crossings. Wigan's Road Safety Manager Julie Dagnall said: "We really want to offer the service to all our pupils. Some areas are desperately low for patrols and we just don't have anyone spare to cover illness or holidays."

For more information, telephone Wigan Council's Road Safety Team on 01942 488250.
