Lockleaze residents are set to meet with Bristol City Council to address the "dangerous" speeding in their area. The residents took action on Saturday, April 30 as part of their campaign with community union Acorn, which has been going on for more than a year.
The Grand-Prix themed day saw children compete in egg and spoon, musical statues, and slow races. ACORN members and supporters also shared their messages to the council's cabinet member for transport, Don Alexander, who they are set to meet next week. But a council spokesperson said works will begin this summer on sustainable transport improvements along Muller Road that will help traffic in the area.
Katie Hook joined the Acorn a month ago, and said: "I suffer from epilepsy and I get paranoid about being around speeding cars on the road because of my fits. It's also frustrating that my kids can't play outside because it's so dangerous. Also, I want to protect our beautiful wildlife in the area and make Lockleaze safe for children and people with disabilities.
