Local Heroes

Every morning and afternoon on Coach Lane, a little zebra crossing becomes a place of joy, thanks to Heather McKean. Dressed in her hi-vis and armed with her trusty lollipop, Heather isn't just a crossing attendant—she's a local legend. With high fives, warm smiles, and an uncanny ability to remember every name, she turns a simple road crossing into a daily dose of sunshine. For the children (and even a few grumpy drivers), Heather is more than a friendly face—she’s a highlight of the day.
