School Crossing Patrols are provided where children are in danger from road traffic when walking to and from school. This is not necessarily directly outside a school but could be anywhere on a direct route.

Can I request a School Crossing Patrol?

Requests can be made using the additional school crossing patrols online form. Following a request we will survey the area to see if it meets the national criteria which includes a vehicle and pedestrian count.

How many School Crossing Patrols does Tameside operate?

Currently Tameside has 105 school crossing patrols in operation.
