A frustrated local resident has launched a petition calling for the removal of a bus lane on one of the main roads into Bristol - just weeks after it was created.
The new bus lane on the A370 Long Ashton bypass was finished just last month after several weeks of roadworks, but drivers who use the route to get into Bristol from North Somerset have called for it to be removed already, because only one bus every ten minutes, on average, is scheduled to use it.
And some people in Long Ashton village itself say that reducing what was a dual carriageway bypass is causing so many delays and queues to traffic on the bypass that traffic has increased in Long Ashton itself, as drivers revert to the old main road through the village to avoid the queues.
