4th March 2026: 20 is Plenty – Hotwell Road Petition
Following a terrifying incident on Hotwells Road, local residents launched a petition, “20 is Plenty”, calling on Bristol City Council to implement a 20mph speed limit on Hotwell Road, when a driver lost control of their car and the vehicle mounted the pavement, crashing into a building on Hotwells Rd opposite the Rassasy restaurant. While no one was injured, the crash occurred during the afternoon school run and the outcome could so easily have been catastrophic. Read the petition.
