OXFORD'S Botley Road is gridlocked in both directions because stop/go signs are being used to replace traffic lights at the Seacourt Tower junction.

Oxfordshire County Council is due to complete work on the junction, which will include installing new lights, later today.

Queues are stretching along Botley Road to and from the city centre, along West Way and up to the roundabout at Botley interchange on the A34.
