There are just two weeks left to make your nomination for the prestigious Lollipop Person of the Year Awards.
The annual awards being organised by Kwikfit Insurance and UK road safety charity Brake, is now in its seventh year.
The purpose of the award is to recognise the hard work and dedication of those who make sure that our kids get to cross roads outside schools safely.
They do this job whatever the weather and sometimes with abuse from impatient drivers.
If you know of a lollipop person who you think should be nominated, you can do it online.
The closing date is Friday 30 October and the overall winner will be announced in December.
Cllr Barry Abraham, Isle of Wight Council Cabinet member for Fire and Community Safety said: “Our school crossing patrols play a crucial role in ensuring that children cross our roads safely to get to and from school each day. If you feel your Lollipop person deserves special recognition I would encourage you to nominate them for this special award.”
