High winds cause traffic light damage in Crosspool

Last night’s wind and rain have damaged a set of traffic lights in Crosspool.

Gusts of upto 80mph left part of a traffic light casing hanging by a wire at the busy Manchester Road crossing near local schools.

Despite the damage, it appears that the lights are still operational and an engineer was on hand to begin repairs at around 8am this morning.

Did the bad weather cause any damage elsewhere in Crosspool? If you spot anything, comment below or let us know.
