A Burntwood councillor says the battle against wide-ranging cuts is not over, despite Staffordshire County Council reversing plans to axe lollipop men and women.
The proposal had come as part of a raft of measures designed to plug a funding gap.
But Cllr Philip Atkins, leader of the Conservative-controlled council said public opinion had led to a rethink on the issue of school crossing wardens.
Cllr Sue Woodward, leader of the Labour opposition group at Staffordshire County Council, said the news represented a victory for residents – but warned there was still a fight to be had over the impact of cuts.
“While it’s good to know that the Cabinet at Staffordshire County Council really have been listening to the public concerns about school crossing patrols, we must remember that there are more cuts still to come,” she said.
“We’ve won one battle against the austerity measures but we haven’t won the war yet.
“That’s why it’s so important that residents keep lobbying their county councillors before more services are lost.”
