QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor S. Holland

"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the review of school wardens which was to take place, with details of any changes planned for this Area Committees attention?" 

REPLY:

Preliminary work on a review of existing school warden crossings has commenced.

A number of counts have been carried out at various locations countywide to assess if these areas warrant a new school warden crossing. Once all counts are complete then locations for the new crossings will be listed and a selection process determined.

All Councillors were recently contacted with a request to identify any additional areas that they would like assessed for a school warden and these are currently being followed up on.  

Interviews were held recently for Relief School Wardens throughout the County.  The Council's HR Department are in the process of appointing these relief staff.  Three permanent posts are currently being filled from permanent school warden panel.

When the new locations have been identified and agreed with Councillors, interviews will be held from staff on the relief panels with a view to appointing wardens to these additional crossings in the county.
