Traffic light fault leads to tailbacks in Boston

Motorists have been suffering delays in the Sluice Bridge area of the town in the first few days of this week.

After being approached by the Standard over the matter, a spokesman for the county council said there had been an issue at the traffic lights in Fydell Street near its junction with Lister Way.

A power supply fault meant the lights were no longer monitoring how many vehicle were waiting at the lights, they said, and resorted to a standard form.

The spokesman said the council were informed of the fault yesterday and fixed it today.

They apologised for the inconvenience caused.
