Lights fail at busy Lord Street junction

Traffic lights on a busy Lord Street junction have failed tonight.

The light system on the corner of Nevill Street and Lord Street have totally failed with cars inching out into the junction at low speed to try and avoid a collision.

The lights failed shortly after 8pm and heavy Saturday night traffic is causing serious safety concerns.

Light night revellers have also been seen dodging cars at the crossing.

Sefton Council’s emergency response team have been called.
