TRAFFIC has been backing up at Tesco Ryde Extra's petrol station, after a problem at the fuel pumps.

Bollards were placed across the entrance denying access to vehicles at around 10.45am this morning (November 28).

Some of the pumps seemed to have lost power and were not working at all.

The County Press tried to contact Tesco Extra Ryde but could not get clarification as to what the problem was.

UPDATE 11.27am: There was a power outage but the pumps are now back up and running.
