Coun Alan Lockwood said he understood why repairs had to be carried out at the main junction of the A158/A153 but could not ‘comprehend’ why temporary lights remained in place, leading to the delays. In an email to local county councillor Bill Aron, Coun Lockwood adds: “This photo shows the traffic congestion but not the level of subsequent fumes and pollution which are the result.”
