Lollipop man told to stop giving kids high-fives - only council disapproves (UK) 19/June/2025

A lollipop man (crossing guard) said he had been told he could no longer high-five children while they are crossing the road because it slows down traffic. Neil Cotton, 57, has been working as a school crossing patrol officer in Howden, East Yorkshire for about two years. In a social media post, he said he could not high-five the children anymore, because "it upsets some drivers having to wait another 10 seconds". East Riding of Yorkshire Council said it was vitally important children learned to cross the road safely, without any distractions. Mr Cotton helps children from the infant, junior and secondary schools in Howden to cross the junction known locally as Cross Keys Corner. His social media post received more than 100 comments before it was taken down. There is a "People" playlist on the channel if you are interested. #lollipop #crossingguard
