00:00Very, very strongly. I live in a village not far from here called Hallan, not that many

00:06residents, around 300, but we are on one of the main routes through to Avonmouth and because

00:12that has built up so much more we have a real problem with speeding. To get to the village

00:18you have to come down a hill either side which obviously increases their speed and they don't

00:24reduce at all as they come through. So this week we are putting a petition to South Gloucester

00:29Council asking for traffic calming, it's very important to us, very.

00:34I think if it improves safety aspect then great, yeah, I'd be all for it, you know.

00:45We've got a 70 mile an hour limit in this country anyway, I mean hands up, I go fast

00:51without telling myself, you know, and lots of people do, but anything that sort of improves

00:57safety then, yeah.
