Watch: Fire crews on blue lights stuck in traffic at Shrewsbury's controversial revamped gyratory
New footage shows the delays faced by emergency service crews using Shrewsbury's revamped station gyratory.
The road network at Castle Foregate, around Shrewsbury Railway Station, has undergone major changes in recent months, with millions of pounds spent on the project.
The chair of the Shropshire & Wrekin Fire Authority, Councillor David Minnery, warned last week that the changes were "putting lives at risk" with emergency service crews stuck in traffic jams.
His comments came during a meeting of Shropshire Council’s economy and environment overview and scrutiny committee.
Now video taken this morning (Tuesday) shows fire crews, with blue lights flashing, waiting more than two minutes to get through the gyratory.
Shrewsbury Fire Station is on St Michael's Street, only a short distance from the gyratory, with fire crews needing to use the junction to respond to emergencies in a large area of the town.
Reacting to the latest footage a spokesman for the Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "We are aware of concerns from the public and videos circulating regarding the traffic around the gyratory.
