Sadiq has been campaigning to improve road safety measures around Hillbrook Primary School. On behalf of the headteacher and concerned parents Sadiq has lobbied Wandsworth Council and is currently consulting parents on the road safety measures they’d like to see outside their child’s school.

Following the publicity surrounding the campaign at Hillbrook School, Sadiq has received a lot of interest from parents about setting up similar campaigns at their child’s school. The campaign now looks set to spread to Smallwood Primary School and a consultation of residents living around Chestnut Grove School will also be underway soon.


Previously Sadiq’s Safer Streets Campaign has had a number of notable successes in improving road safety outside local Primary Schools, and this has lead to Sadiq winning national road safety charity Brake’s ‘Parliamentarian of the Month’ award.

So far Sadiq’s campaign has made a real difference at these Primary Schools:

Sellincourt Primary School — Bollards have been installed at a dangerous crossing and new signs have been put up warning drivers to slow down.

Gatton School — a new one-way system has been introduced on Broadwater Road, the roads around the school have been narrowed making them safer to cross and a school crossing officer has been introduced.

Fircroft Primary School — Bollards have been introduced to stop drivers driving onto the pavement next to the school entrance.  

Furzedown School — A new raised zebra crossing is being installed at the site of the school crossing.  This is part of a huge scheme to improve traffic calming measures on Southcroft Road which has been agreed following Sadiq’s successful campaign in the area.
