Safety Fears Prompt Temporary Lights in Little Bowden
Written by HFM News on 10th November 2026
Temporary traffic lights are due to be installed following repeated failures of the signals by the railway bridge in Little Bowden, which have raised safety concerns.
The lights on Kettering Road have repeatedly stopped working over several days, with reports of near misses as drivers negotiate the single-lane route beneath the bridge.
An ongoing software fault is being blamed for the outages and is being investigated by the manufacturer.
A spokesperson for Leicester City Council, which manages traffic signals on behalf of Leicestershire County Council, said the authority was aware of the problem.
The temporary lights are due to be installed today to help manage traffic while the issue is investigated.
