Lockleaze residents are set to hold a 'Grand Prix' themed protest against speeding in their suburb. Their campaign for a 'Speed Free Lockleaze' has been held alongside community union Acorn since December 2020.
People living in the neighbourhood have complained of the 'scary' speeding they have had to contend with and have reported regular law-breaking by motorists. But they now say they have organised a meeting with Bristol City Council transport chief Don Alexander to solve the issue, after they accused him of ignoring their earlier requests - an accusation he disputes.
A day of speeding-themed activities will now be held in the suburb on April 30 to continue to raise awareness for their campaign. A spokesperson for the group said: "ACORN has been campaigning for a Speed-Free Lockleaze safer for pedestrians, cyclists and kids.
