WARNERS Bay Public School parents are worried student safety will be jeopardised by a decision to remove a pedestrian crossing on a busy street and not replace it.

The school's parents and citizens [P&C] committee president Duncan Burck said families were calling on Lake Macquarie City Council to delay the removal of the Jones Avenue crossing - on a crest on a narrow road - and review its decision making process around the project.
