Two drivers who didn't stop for Heywood lollipop man in the road have cars seized - Manchester Evening News https://share.google/uf7MJb1z5BPBi4H6e

I think this is damn right. But, I don't know what law is being used here and what the penalty is.

I used to know a lady in Trafford who did this job in the 80s and she got so much stick for it. She'd be stopping traffic to let primary kids cross and idiots (usually men) would be jumping out and yelling abuse and spitting at her.

In the 90s, another lady was run down and killed at the same crossing.

Dreadful.
 
The matter was reported to police, who used new powers under section 59 of the police reform act 2002, to seize the vehicles after collecting evidence.
