Petition calls for council action over congestion

Written by Chris (editor) on Sunday October 21st, 2007 at 6:12 pm

An online petition calling on South Gloucestershire Council to improve the road infrastructure in the Stokes has been started.

The petition, on the 10 Downing Street website, says the level of housing builds over the past 20 years has not been matched by spending on the roads.

Paul Tanner’s petition says: “The local authority also has plans to build another 8,000 new houses in the locality with nothing specified as to how people will be able to move about with a reasonable level of fluidity.

“Stoke Gifford is also the location for a mainline station (Bristol Parkway) and has a number of educational establishments in the immediate vicinity. The problem of extensive traffic chaos is a cause of avoiadable pollution.”

One of the major problems with traffic in Bradley Stoke, Stoke Gifford and Little Stoke is caused by the railway line cutting the area off from the rest of the city.

If you want to sign the petition visit this website.
