Traffic holdups ongoing due to traffic lights at Cefn-Y-Bedd

Last night, the Leader reported that Hafren Dyfrdwy had been carrying out work on the B5102 at Cefn-Y-Bedd. 

Temporary four-way traffic lights have been in place in the area while staff from the water company complete the work.

This sparked traffic delays, with motorists sharing their "frustration" at the delays.

Some drivers say they have been stuck for just 15 minutes, while others report having been at a standstill for up to an hour.
