Would appear you were not far out Accyman, taken from the minutes of meeting 27th February, 2009 :
Britannia Crossroads
The Chair informed the meeting that works at Britannia Crossroads had been slightly delayed
due to the recent severe weather conditions and unforeseen drainage problems which had
subsequently been resolved.
It was reported that the contractor was currently working on the surface water drainage in the
area to the east of the junction and also in Haslingden New Road near Greenfield Terrace. As
the Haslingden New Road drain would be brought up the carriageway towards the Britannia
Arms it was noted that temporary traffic signals would be required until the works were completed
