The Mounts Baths was closed by a power cut that hit a part of Northampton yesterday afternoon.
Motorists had to be careful during rush hour in the town centre after the traffic lights in Upper Mounts were hit by a power cut at about 3pm.

The failure also affected local businesses, including the Mounts Baths, which was closed until 5pm.

The traffic lights at Mereway, at the Tesco roundabout, were also out of action during this morning's rush-hour.

When the lights were out of action, says the report, "Motorists had to be careful", implying that when lights are "working", motorists do not need to be careful. Paradoxical but true. Lights remove responsibility for decision-making. They turn us into robots, programmed to act according to switchgear, not innate intelligence or the needs of the moment. More at fitroads.org
