Police officers and PCSO's were on duty at one of Ormskirk's busiest junctions this evening after a major traffic light failure at the Fiveways junction.

A single officer coped manfully with the flow of traffic before being joined by colleagues who directed queues of traffic along County Road, Southport Road and Halsall Lane; an LCC contractor arrived at around 7pm to fix the problem.

There were a few angry horns soundede but no 'fireworks' despite the night sky being periodically illuminated with rockets and the like.

And a fire engine was waved through on its way towards Burscough, likewise two ambulances on their way to Southport hospital.

Fiveways lights off for over two hours, and you check how more the lost. Can you tell them how can they leave it and how it become good through assignment services. We have some good choices here which help us to understand it.
