Deborah Chapman has been the unsung hero of Beeston Primary School in Leeds for many years. She navigated young ones safely across a high-traffic road daily, some who now return as parents themselves. Regrettably, Leeds City Council has decided to discontinue her services, leaving the children vulnerable. Beloved Deborah is as essential to our community as safety is to our children. The role of a school crossing guard is crucial: according to the CDC, in 2018 alone, 6,283 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes in the United States. That's one every 85 minutes (source: CDC Injury Centre). While we don't have the specific numbers for the UK, these statistics underline the importance of this role defining our collective responsibility to ensure the safety of every child. By reinstating Deborah to her position, we believe Leeds City Council can make a significant contribution to this cause. Let's band together and urge Leeds City Council to reinstate Deborah Chapman and ensure our children's safety. Sign this petition and support our call for change.
