MOTORISTS have been warned to expect delays as repair works will take place on a set of traffic lights damaged in a crash.

Repair works will take place throughout the week on the traffic lights in New Road near Parley Cross.

As reported, a black Volkswagen Polo had crashed into the barrier, causing significant damage, on November 13.

A man was arrested on suspicion of driving offences but has subsequently been "de-arrested" pending investigations.

And delays are expected in New Road as works begin.

Travel Dorset said on Twitter: "West Parley - Parley Cross - repair works will take place this week, following a recent traffic collision that caused damage to traffic signals and a traffic island.

"24/7 temporary lights and lane closures in operation this Wednesday through Friday."
