Northern Powergrid issue update on Leeds Road traffic lights

Temporary works are in place on Leeds Road in Harrogate.

Northern Powergrid has provided an update after ongoing issues affecting the traffic lights at the Leeds Road crossroads in Harrogate.

Drivers have reported disruption in the area as a result of the fault, which has led to congestion at busy times.

Engineers have been investigating the problem, which relates to a faulty electricity supply feeding the traffic signal equipment.

A spokesperson for Northern Powergrid said:

“We’re aware of a fault on the traffic lights at the Leeds Road crossroad in Harrogate.

"We are planning excavation work this week to repair the faulty service.

“Should the fault continue, we have contingency plans in place to connect a generator to power the lights and we’re arranging suitable parking arrangements for the generator, should this be required.”

Northern Powergrid has not confirmed how long the repair work is expected to take - but has advised that further updates will be provided if the situation changes.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time for journeys through the area.
