The lights at at the controversial new through-about on the Avon Ring Road are out this evening (July 18), according to reports. It appears there have been problems with the lights on the A4174 throughout the day.
The £6.9million changes to the roundabout, also known as Woodstock, were criticised as “dangerous” and a “huge waste of money” when it reopened in October. However, South Gloucestershire Council leader Cllr Toby Savage has previously urged people not to jump to conclusions and insists through-abouts are safe and work well in other parts of the country.
His words defending the through-about came after the death of a teenager in a crash back in April. It now appears there have been problems with the lights throughout the day today, being on and off.
