A bus service is unable to serve its usual route through Histon because of the temporary traffic lights outside Histon Chop Shop.
A notice placed at one of the affected bus stops says the changes to Service 8 will be “until further notice” and is due to “safety concerns” caused by the lights in Windmill Lane.
David Boden, Business Development Director of Stagecoach East, said: “The safety of our loyal passengers and our communities is always our number one priority.
“In this case, temporary traffic lights have been set up outside Histon Chop Shop, which means that, with regret, we are temporarily unable to serve the bus stops on Windmill Lane, Church Street, and Cottenham Road.
“We will be very pleased to resume our service to those stops as soon as it is safe to do so.”
The Service 8 route travels between Cambridge and Cottenham. Cambridgeshire County Council says the temporary lights are for emergency works. “Our highways team is contacting UK Power Networks and will ask them to rectify the situation,” a spokesperson said.
