"The incident was reported to the Department at 1.30am on Tuesday, December 12 and passed to our external contractors who were on site at 6.45am to clear the debris and make preparations to repair the crossing light.

"It is hoped that the crossing light will be fully operational again by 6pm on December 14. There are no plans to install temporary pedestrian crossing lights at present as there are two uncontrolled pedestrian crossing islands in close proximity.”
