Driver fines: NO for roundabout plan but YES for rat run

South Glos Council will NOT be taking forward plans to fine drivers who stop in the yellow box junctions at Filton Roundabout.

As Filtonvoice reported earlier this year, the council was applying for new enforcement powers but following a consultation, this plan has been shelved.

However they DO want to take over responsibility and possibly issue fines for the Kenmore Drive scheme, where there is a “high level of abuse” by drivers ignoring the part-time no-entry signs where Kenmore Drive meets Kenmore Crescent in Filton, which is used as a rat-run to avoid Southmead Road during rush hour and an application has been submitted to government.

Lunar Optical has been providing Bishopston with a comprehensive eyecare service for 10 years.

Thank you for supporting your local, independent opticians.

Jill and Killian look forward to the next 10 years on Gloucester Road and opening their new, independent opticians at 3 The Mall, BS8 4DP.
