Ex-city councillor hits out at 'disruption' caused by The Outlaws filming in Bristol

A woman has accused the production company behind BBC's The Outlaws of causing disruption while filming at St Werburgh's City Farm. In a series of tweets, Mhairi Threlfall spoke of "safety issues" allegedly caused by "inconsiderate" parking and blocking of a cycle lane during filming for the third series, produced by Big Talk.

The resident and former Bristol City Councillor claimed there has been no communication from the production house with people living in the area. A spokesperson of the BAFTA-nominated show told BristolLive they had sent a letter to residents due to be impacted in advance of the shoot and have been working closely with Bristol City Council to adhere to strict health and safety regulations.

Ms Threlfall told BristolLive that the production had been affecting residential streets surrounding the farm along Watercress Road, Boiling Cress Road and Mina Road. The mother-of-two explained that parking is rarely ever a problem in the area but said it has become impossible and often dangerous due to the filming.
