Good morning and happy Wednesday - we're halfway through the week! I have another long list of temporary lights for you today as well as the traffic hotspots, of course.
Like I've said our computer system can miss things so if you get stuck at some lights or in traffic let me know on social media or call me on 01423 276197.
These blogs, brought to you by The HACS Group, give updates on the road and rail links every 15 minutes.
