The work follows a similar upgrade of the traffic lights at the North Bar Without junction which took place in March.

Paul Tripp, head of streetscene services at , said: “The current traffic lights at both of these junctions are showing signs of age and therefore we are making this investment to install new lights which are designed to save energy and to last much longer.
