This follows another utility company, Cadent, apologising for traffic tailbacks who two weeks ago had also installed lights on the same road while carrying out essential works.

An Anglian Water spokesperson said: “We are sorry for any traffic disruption on High Road in Whaplode today.

“We needed to install traffic lights to enable us to repair a damaged manhole.
