The council’s Labour administration has denied claims that up to 20 lollipop patrollers face redundancy.
They say instead the posts - to be cut as part of cost cutting plans - will be lost by “not filling vacancies as they arise”.
As part of budget cuts - presented by Labour and voted through with support from the Tories earlier this year - the phased removal of the lollipop patrols was agreed, with the move to be implemented once upgraded traffic controlled crossings are in place to replace them.
