THE FUEL TANKER ROUTES THROUGH NORTH WEST BRISTOL

Blue dots, the direct route to the A403 and the Motorway.
Red dots, the congested routes through Bristol.

These are the tanker routes caused by South Gloucestershire Council’s selfish policy of sending all fuel tankers from Hallen PSD and all skip transporters from the Hallen land fill site into North West Bristol’s suburban roads. To date Bristol City Council have shown little interest in challenging this policy despite the fact that both Council's are members of the West of England Road Safety Partnership, which aims to reduce the numbers of casualties from road traffic accidents in the Partner’s districts.
This despite the rebuilding of Henbury School and the new Leisure Centre, where for the first time the school and centre entrances discharge directly onto the tanker routes.
Time to wake up Bristol.
