TRAFFIC lights will be in place in Yazor Road in Hereford while essential waterworks are carried out.

The three-way traffic lights will be in place at the junction with Windermere Road from August 22 for an expected two weeks.

Welsh Water is investing £950,000 to upgrade part of the network in that area.

The work will reduce the amount of surface water which currently finds its way in during heavy rain.

Once complete, it will help the network operate more effectively during the rain and in turn reduce the risk of flooding from the network.

Work on the project is set to be completed in early October.
