The traffic lights have broken on a major route in Swindon, leaving traffic to cross a junction without signals.

The lights on A4198 Thamesdown Road in Haydon Wick have stopped working at the junction with Torun Way.

Drivers have been warned by the AA and Swindon Borough Council to approach the junction “with care”.

A council spokesperson said: “The traffic lights at the junction of Redhouse Way and Torun Way on Thamesdown Drive are currently out of order.

“Our Highways Team is aware of the issue and has contacted SSE, who are now on site, to get the lights restored as soon as possible.

“If you’re driving in the area please be cautious and aware of other drivers that may be turning onto Thamesdown Drive.”
