A warning issue has been for people travelling on a busy Merseyside road.
Sefton Council has told drivers travelling on the A565 in Thornton they could face delays for the next fortnight. A temporary traffic light system will be in place between Broom's Cross Road and Southport Road in Thornton from today, Monday, July 3 to Saturday, July 15.
The local authority said this is to allow for essential combined sewer and electrical works to take place as part of a nearby housing development. It added due to the extensive nature of the works the two-way temporary traffic light system will need to be operational 24 hours a day.
