Temporary traffic lights are planned along Wookey Hole Road in Wells this week before the lockdown begins.

Multi-way lights are scheduled on Wednesday (November 4) from the junction with Kennion Road to the junction with Blake Road.

They are set to be used to enable Truespeed to lay a new telecommunications duct due to congestion in the existing duct.

A number of other works by Truespeed are due to be in place before lockdown as its rollout of ultrafast broadband continues across the city.

From Monday (November 2) to Wednesday, the company is scheduled to be repairing a defect in Charter Way.

On Monday and Tuesday (November 3) the firm is set to be converting interim works to permanent fixtures in Bath Road.

From Tuesday, Truespeed is due to be repairing defects in Walnut Tree Close and Goodymoor Avenue.

On Wednesday, the company is scheduled to be laying a new telecommunications duct in Jocelyn Drive.
