Crowds block key Bristol route as drivers warned to 'take extra care'

Drivers have been warned to avoid a key route near Bristol city centre after a crowd partially blocked the road. Bristol City Council sent out a warning on Saturday (July 1) afternoon after a crowd at Turbo Island spilled out onto one side of the carriageway.

The surrounding Bristol neighbourhoods have been bustling with people throughout the day for the return of St Pauls Carnival. People have been asked to take extra care when driving through Stokes Croft on Saturday evening.

On Twitter, the city council said: "A crowd gathered at Turbo Island (junction of Jamaica Street and Stokes Croft) is spilling out onto the road, blocking one lane of the highway. If you are travelling through the area please take extra care."
