MAY I add my amazement to the rest of St Helens about the axing of the crossing patrols on the grounds of having no funds.
I have written to St Helens Council in the past to ask why it seemingly needs four men to empty one bin in our area.
My opinion is that the local authority seems to have far too many staff with little to do, but the valuable staff such the crossing patrols, whose presence can help protect lives are discarded like flotsam.
How much money is wasted that we don’t hear about?
