Wolverhampton's school crossing patrol wardens recognised with long service awards
Members of Wolverhampton’s school crossing patrol service have been recognised for their hard work and dedication by the city’s mayor.
Councillor Dr Michael Hardacre, Mayor of Wolverhampton, held a special reception in the mayoral suite on Wednesday to thank all the wardens for their commitment to helping keep schoolchildren safe.
Some members of the city’s school crossing patrols have been wardens for more than 20 years and their efforts were marked with long service awards.
Those receiving long service awards were Helen Denson, who has served for 22 years, Rosalind Millard (23 years), Shirley Tonks (24 years), Debra Simpkiss (25 years), Sandra Gold (34 years), Brenda Breeze (39 years) and Patricia Hunting (47 years).
The local celebrations came as the school crossing patrol service in England marks its 70th anniversary.
