Council orders lollipop man to stop ‘high-fiving’ children

‘A Dumbarton lollipop man has been banned by the local council from “high-fiving” children as they cross the road.

Nkosana Mdikane, 74, is known as “Scotland’s happiest lollipop man” due to his singing and dancing at work.

West Dunbartonshire Council said safety fears were behind the decision.

But school parents have questioned the council’s reasoning, with one father David Dufton starting a Facebook campaign to try to reverse the move.’
