Temporary Traffic Lights not being monitored, 21st June

Wed, 21 Jun 2023 20:41:35 +0100
53.650884 -1.391161

It is nearly 2 years that there have been temporary traffic lights on the Nostell Priory bridge. Previously 'Streetwise' have monitored the traffic lights and done a reasonable job, but in recent weeks the traffic light management has become none existent. On the very few ocassions that there has been someone there, they have been asleep, on their phone, or doing nothing with their feet up (literally) - while the traffic has built up. Each day this week it has been worse, I have sat in traffic for over half an hour each morning, with traffic built up from the roundabout prior to Wragby due to the temporary traffic lights at Nostell. The roadwork sign that was put up in March stating that there were works on the bridge for 12 weeks has now been moved, there has been no progress in repairing the bridge and now the traffic flow isn't been managed. A 20 minute commute has become at least an hour commute for nearly 2 years now, with no sign of completion nearing. Please could you look into the traffic management, I'm sure I'm not the only person who has raised this issue.
