A SET of temporary traffic lights in Dursley is causing major hold-ups. 

The traffic lights have been set up at the roundabout where Castle Street meets Kinsghill Road while essential work is conducted by Severn Trent Water.

The work, which began today, will last until Thursday, with the traffic lights active between 7am and 7pm during this period. 

Many people have complained about delays on social media this afternoon, with some claiming it took them an hour to pass through the town, a drive which usually lasts a few minutes.
