New fibre networks will be built on a busy Stoke-on-Trent road this month and temporary traffic lights will be in place whilst the work takes place.

Multi-way signals are planned for Sandon Road, near the junction for Grange Road, between 28 June and 2 July.

Although the work will mainly take place on the footpath, Openreach told Nub News the lights are necessary to keep the engineers safe.

The work will take place between 28 June and 2 July (Nub News).

A spokesperson for Openreach said: "Our engineers are building new fibre networks across the area, and will be working here for a few days.

"Full fibre brings faster speeds and greater reliability and Openreach's network covers many cities, towns and villages across the West Midlands.

"Our team will be working in the footpath and will keep disruption to a minimum."
