Drivers travelling on the main Newport to Sandown road are being told to expect two weeks of delays from next week.

Temporary traffic lights are due to be installed on Hale Common, at Branstone.

They will be in place between September 4 to 15.

It is necessary to allow for Openreach to relocate one of its chambers next to the new Branstone development.

There will be manual controlled traffic lights at peak times.

Traffic lights are permitted 24/7 for entire period of works but will be removed when no longer required, the council said,

Isle of Wight Council said it has agreed to the works because of their essential nature in relation to the Branstone development.

The authority has apologised for any inconvenience.
