I rise to present the petition of residents of the United Kingdom in the parish of Winterbourne, in the constituency of Filton and Bradley Stoke, relating to the Hambrook junction and the prohibition of vehicles crossing the junction in all directions, as they previously did. An identical petition online that has reached almost 4,000 signatures also addresses this problem, which residents can still sign. That petition was started by local residents Mr and Mrs Gay, who are also the signatories to this petition.

The petition states:

The petition of residents of the constituency of Filton and Bradley Stoke,

Declares that petitioners object to traffic lights being disabled; further declares that motorists are forced to drive further to get to where they need to be.

The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Government to encourage South Gloucestershire Council to reinstate the status quo ante and turn these traffic lights back on.

And the petitioners remain, etc.
