The Downs are 'hell' as residents fear serious injury from boy racers

Dangerous boy racers driving across the The Downs in Bristol pose a threat of causing serious injury. That's the view of one nearby resident, who says the problem is getting worse.

The resident, who did not wish to be named, said racing around the park takes place mostly at night, but has happened during the day. He said: “The past few months on the Downs have been hell.

“It can be from 8pm onwards and it’s groups of people up there, you can hear the cars zooming back and forth. The other day there were lads doing wheelies across the grass on their motorbikes during the day.
