Updates

  • Thank you for taking the time to report this to us. It is much appreciated. UKPN have been carrying out works on Islington High Street since yesterday, using UTC traffic signals. There were issues with these yesterday, resulting in excessive delays. Our NPD team has confirmed the situation has improved today. The works permit has been approved for five days (ending on Friday 11 April). On the point regarding why the works were not scheduled at night, the traffic management would need to be removed during the day, which is not possible with an excavation of the size in place for these works. If the issue persists, please raise another report or contact our customer services team on 0343 222 1234.

    State changed to: Fixed
