‘Traffic Lights Off’ at Gresford Roundabout Due to Power Cut

Motorists are being advised to take extra care if using the Gresford Roundabout this morning, with a power cut causing the traffic lights to go off.

UPDATE: 8:58am – SP Energy Networks say: “Supplies have now been restored to customers affected by #POWERCUT in #LL12 #LL13 #Wrexham #Borras #Acton. Thank you for your patience.”

There are still delays for for those exiting the bypass at the Gresford Slip Road / travelling from Gresford due to the earlier fault with traffic lights at the roundabout.

The power cut appears to have impacted homes across Borras, Barkers Lane and the surrounding areas – along with causing the traffic lights on the Gresford Roundabout off.
