Rabbit Roundabout, the junction which was under threat from “improvements”, has been saved so we’ve been out taking pictures.
Have a look at some of the rabbits enjoying an early morning feed of carrots on the corner of Winterbourne Road and Bradley Stoke Way.
If you want to add your pics of Rabbit Roundabout use the facilities in our In Pictures section or email them to news@sadlybroke.com

I love the bunny roundabout, makes me smile every morning on my way to the station. I didn’t know it was under threat, I even get annoyed when the council mows the grass!
Looking at the pictures, I hope people remember to throw carrots onto the roundabout rather than the road, I’d hate any of them to get squashed

We call this roundabout “Bunny Heaven” - food, shelter, places to hide, and plenty of room to move as well as grass to nibble. The traffic must stop a lot of predators as well.
We can foresee a population explosion there…
My brother-in-law from London was amazed to see Bunny Heaven when he visited us recently.

I think the coucil is very over zealous in curtting the grass and the bushes.
I have noticed the the bushes , grass down to the roundabout at the start of Gipsy Patch lane is a mess.
The rabitt roundabout is keeped trim by the rabbits , so leave them alone as they give a lot of people a lot of pleasure .
So leave the rabbits in peace and clean up the other areas that are a mess.

My family and I love Rabbit Roundabout and always shout ‘Rabbit!’ when we see one! I was thinking of putting a sign up on there, but the council would probably remove it.
