'Remarkable' Hull lollipop lady retires

JOAN'S 28 YEARS OF SERVICE

- By MARK PAGE

A “well-loved” and “amazing” lollipop lady has hung up her hi-vis vest after an impressive 28-year stint in Hull.

Joan Marriott, now 88, was based on Amythest Road near Mountbatten Primary School.

She began working for Hull City Council in 1997 and embraced the role with pride and an “unwavering commitment to the children she served”. For well over two decades, come rain or shine, she safeguarded numerous pupils travelling to and from the school, establishing herself as a valued and beloved figure within the local area.
