Rutherford House School is situated on the busy A24 between Tooting Bec and Balham. This stretch of road is becoming increasingly dangerous and there have been several accidents in the past year. The school is next door to Tesco Express which is a very busy junction in the mornings and after school.

The signatories below feel that the students would be made safer by the addition of signs and flashing lights indicating that they are driving outside a school and believe a lollipop lady/man is needed to help students arrive at school safely.
