Lollipop men and women are on the chopping block in North Ayrshire.
The council is weighing up getting rid of all school crossing patrollers as consideration is given to significant budget cuts for next year.
If the move goes ahead, the local authority would save more than £250,000 over the next two financial years – £128,642 in 2023-24 and £127,703 in 2024-25.
