Locals baffled as mystery green spots appear on street overnight - but what are they for?
Residents in a quiet city suburb have been left baffled after a series of large green spots appeared on their road overnight. Multiple colourful dots appeared on Greville Road in the Southville area of Bristol overnight, with no explanation or reason as to their purpose. Even the local council have no idea who is responsible for the circles or why they have appeared, appearing to confirm it was not carried out by their staff. Three clusters of the markings appeared in the middle and at each end of the road. Residents have suggested the markings, which range in size from around 30cm to 1.2m wide, could be a form of street art or an effort to make drivers slow down. No-one has come forward to claim responsibility for the markings. One local woman said: 'No one knows why they are here. They have come out of no where - it is safe to say everyone is pretty confused! 'It looks like the road has got a form of measles.' Residents have been left speculating as to their purpose, with no-one claiming responsibility for the markings Some locals seem to think the mysterious dots could be part of an art exhibition due to an increase in street art around the area. Local resident Brook Morris, told the BBC: 'We think they're part of an art installation because we've had a lot of street art down here. 'They seem quite cool, anything that's colourful is nice.' And resident Caitlyn Budd, said: 'I think they're pretty, I like them. 'They appeared last week, probably at night, I didn't see anyone. Maybe they're trying to make the area more green. They're nice.' Another woman said: 'They are colourful and pretty - even though they are out of the blue, I like them. 'It is definitely the kind of thing to happen in Bristol of all places.' One said she thought it was a bid to slow drivers down to 20mph. But a local man seemed to disagree, arguing the dots 'serve no purpose and are extremely unnecessary.' A spokesman for Bristol City Council, said: 'We have confirmed that we are investigating where these road markings have come from.
