Scores of drivers have contacted the Peterborough Telegraph to say they are stuck in queues to leave the centre, and have moved only a few yards in more than an hour.

The queues have been caused by roadworks set up on the roundabout outside the centre - although one driver said they could not see any workers on the traffic island.

Motorists are being advised to avoid the area.
