TRAFFIC in Didcot has been slowed by temporary lights in place for bridge repairs.

Work is being carried out by National Grid at Foxhall Bridge, over Foxhall Road, on behalf of Network Rail, Oxfordshire County Council said on Twitter.

But according to the highways authority, the firm did not have permission to put up the lights and has been asked to take them down.

A county council press office spokesman has been asked for more information.
