Temporary traffic lights have been put up causing disruption to traffic as work gets underway to repair a gas escape outside Halesowen Motor House.

The lights have been put up outside the premises on Dudley Road by Cadent while workers locate and fix the leak.

A statement by Andrew Sumner, Network Manager at Dudley Council, read: "They have agreed to manually control these signals between 7am and 7pm due to the traffic sensitive nature of the highway and the proximity of the existing signals at the junction of Coombs Road, however it is likely that there will be disruption in the area."

Works are expected to be completed on December 20th but Cadent is hopeful to have finished work before this date.
