People living near the Stoke Lane roadworks in Bristol have shown their anger at the disruption by hanging underwear along the route.

The protest, residents say, demonstrates how 'pants' the idea is.

Part of the Stoke Lane has become one-way so that contractors can widen the road for the new Metrobus scheme but residents say it's causing widespread chaos.

Stoke Lane closed Northbound on 22 May and many have said it has effected people's journey's to work, university and school.
