People in Lichfield and Burntwood are being invited to have their say on plans to axe council-funded lollipop men and women.
Staffordshire County Council is proposing ending funding for school crossing patrols as it grapples with a £35million budget shortfall.
The authority plans to move to “community-funded” alternatives which it would still train and manage.
Cllr Helen Fisher, Staffordshire County Council’s Cabinet member for highways and transport, said: “We have seen the cost of care soar by more than £100m in the last 10 years and we must now tackle a £35m shortfall in our budget.
“This means we have no choice but to consider which non-statutory services we can continue to fund and very reluctantly this includes the school crossing patrol service.
“The patrols are all wonderful and I do hope that communities will step forward to keep as many of them as possible in the county.”
The online consultation will run until 31st December. The final proposals will be voted on by the council in February 2019.
