Lollipop man 'quits over chocolate'

Oct 5 2009

A school lollipop man has quit after a complaint from a parent about handing out chocolate treats to pupils.

John Hunter, 69, was advised by council officials not to give sweets and high-fives to children at Corstorphine Primary School in Edinburgh as he helps them cross the road.

Edinburgh City Council confirmed Mr Hunter quit after he was informed of a complaint from a parent about chocolate being handed out to children.
