Speed Free Lockleaze!

ACORN Lockleaze members and residents are concerned for the safety of our community.

Speeding is a huge issue that affects the whole of Lockleaze. The area is used as a cut through, it's a rat run, and because the roads are straight and long it makes it easy for cars to drive at speed. The speeding vans put out by local police don't work and as they are only out in the day they don't penalise the speeding that happens late into the night. 

This issue is increasing in severity following a recent surge in accidents, and it will keep getting worse as the new developments will increase the traffic to the area.

That's why ACORN Lockleaze members are taking action, starting with this petition. We will not wait for casualties to occur before Bristol City Council and the Highways Authority take our concerns seriously! 

Dear Bristol City Council and Highways Authority,

ACORN Lockleaze members demand that this issue is addressed by experts and planners at Bristol City Council and the Highways Authority. By signing this petition I support their demands in calling for:

- For some form of traffic calming measures (such as zebra crossings or planters) to be implemented across Lockleaze, prioritising roads that are notorious for speeding, such as:

  • Shaldon Road

  • Glenfrome Road

  • Landseer Avenue

  • Constable Road

  • Bonnington Road

  • Brangwyn Grove

  • Stottbury Road

  • Gainsborough Square

  • Romney Avenue

- A review of speeding in Lockleaze by the Council, with a view to developing a long-term strategic plan to address speeding in the area
