A PCSO was in his element yesterday evening after contractors severed a cable at the new Walmsley House development on Derby St. which 'blew' the traffic lights at the busy Wigan Road junction with Knowsley Road and Moor St.
Standing on Stanley St., he looked like he was guiding jumbo jets into land at Heathrow as he and a colleague ensured there were no accidents while the problem was fixed by Electricity NW.
The lights were out of action for over an hour and back to normal around eight o'clock.
