This part of Stapleton Road is currently cordoned off, between roughly Clifton Place and Armoury Square, following two incidents with knives. One person taken to hospital. If you are trying to go through the area this afternoon I would recommend an alternate route if possible. #Bristol

Residents have raised concerns w me about how fire engines are to get thru the new EBLN bollards. I've been in contact w the transport team & the fire service. Crews should have codes to get through, but the fire service are also double checking the area for access, including access to tower blocks.
