Unnecessary temporary lights

Reported via desktop in the Temporary Traffic Lights category anonymously at 17:02, Monday

Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. Council ref: SRQ-1274756-Z5S1D5.

Four way lights being used totally unnecessarily causing traffic chaos in all directions! This afternoon some men were working in Westcombe Avenue yet the four way lights were on. Cars turn into and out of Westcombe infrequently and could just use the roundabout as normal. The workmen are now finished for the evening and the lights are still on and the tailbacks are huge. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CAN THE USE OF TEMORARY LIGHTS ONLY BE USED WHEN ABSOLUTELY NECCESSARY!
