A LOLLIPOP man has been awarded for his dedication to guiding youngsters from Penarth, Sully and Dinas Powys safely across the roads twice a day.
David Regan was recognised for his contribution to road safety, alongside others, at a Vale awards event held at the council’s dock offices recently.
Mr Regan has worked as a lollipop man for just over two years.
He helps the students of St Cyres, amongst others, on Redlands Road, where he has already made a positive impression on parents and children alike.
The winners were then treated to a buffet and fun road safety quiz.
Vale of Glamorgan Council cabinet member for building services, highways and transportation, councillor Peter King thanked everyone for attending the presentation.
He said: "The School Crossing Patrol Service and Kerbcraft Schemes were established in recognition of the need to keep children safe whilst out and about, on and near our busy roads.
"The success of any scheme relies upon the commitment and dedication of the individuals involved.
"Standing in the pouring rain and watching drivers, whilst teaching a child road safety and providing a safe crossing location, takes a very dedicated and enthusiastic individual."
