ENGINEERS are still trying to correct a computer glitch at a busy traffic light junction on London Road, High Wycombe.

The lights at the retail park in Wycombe Marsh have been malfunctioning for more than a week and further tests are set to be carried out tonight.

Drivers have today reported long tailbacks at the junction – thought to be caused by problems with the timing between the lights’ phases.

The transport department at Bucks County Council said it continues to work with specialist engineers to find a solution.

And a spokesman added: “An electrical fault last night meant that tests could not be completed, and as such the tests are being re-run tonight.

“The lights are operating on their basic setting, but during peak hours are switched to an advanced setting to help manage congestion. Traffic levels are being continually monitored at this time.

“We apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate the patience of road users during this period of testing.”
