'We won't stop protest till road safe for pupils'

There is already one lollipop man on one side of Chester Road in Stretford near St Matthew's C of E Primary.

But the school, in nearby Poplar Road, says two are needed as drivers frequently jump red lights on a pelican on the school side of Chester Road.

Children with placards gathered near the crossing yesterday to make their point to Trafford Council.

Teachers and parents fear for the safety of the 190 pupils from the school, most of whom walk to school from the nearby Lacey Street estate.
