Lockleaze's roads could get new anti-speeding measures after campaigners met with local councillors last weekend. Community union ACORN say they have won a commitment from councillors to address dangerous driving in the suburb.
Their campaign for a 'speed free Lockleaze' has lasted more than a year, and residents have previously told Bristol Live that speeding is a "consistent issue" there. And on Saturday, June 11, members met with David Wilcox and Heather Mack, who represent the ward at Bristol City Council.
According to ACORN, the councillors agreed to prioritise funding from a community infrastructure levy for a zebra crossing or road narrowing on one of the neighbourhood's worst roads. They have also agreed to set up a meeting with the Police and Crime Commissioner for Avon and Somerset in the next few months to get signs and cameras installed on the main roads in Lockleaze, including Shaldon Road, Bonnington Walk, and Dovercourt Road.
