Traffic lights go up in Bradford on Avon for tree works

The manual traffic controls will be in place on Masons Lane in Bradford on Avon from 9.30am to 4.3pm on Sunday, November 3.

This is to allow Wiltshire Council to carry out essential tree works to ensure the safety of the area.

The temporary lights will affect motorists travelling from the road's junction with Market Street to its junction with Mount Pleasant.

This is likely to cause particular issues around the morning and evening rush hours, as congestion is common on Masons Lane during these times even without the temporary traffic measures.
