Traffic lights out on Monkgate

York’s traffic lights seem to have been unusually temperamental of late.

The latest problem is on Monkgate at its junction with Lord Mayor’s Walk and St Maurice’s Road. The lights have gone out at this busy junction.

City of York Council enginners are looking into it. Till they are fixed, the advice? Proceed with caution.

<Signals> 'All out' Monkgate/Lord Mayors Walk/St Maurice's Road junction. Engineers notified, please travel with caution.

Thanks to a team effort a woman was talked down from a York bridge late last night.

The police called in assistance from the York fire rescue boat and York Rescue Boat at the incident on Scarborough Bridge at about 11pm last night.

She was talked down to safety by police officers.
