She said the council needs to examine the placing of the lights.

KCC pointed out that a pedestrian controlled crossing outside the school is fully operational and is used by students and adults on a daily basis.

A council report stated there is no need for a warden to be posted outside the school “as the students benefit from an already controlled and safe crossing mechanism.”
