The controversial rising bollard in York is working fitfully due to a suspected electrical fault.
Engineers are battling to return the bollard, in Stonebow, to fully active service as soon as possible as it has been showing a reluctance to rise.
A spokesman for City of York Council said: "It hasn't been out of service. We've had a few glitches this week where it goes down and stays down so we have engineers looking at it this week. We haven't suspended it.
"It's operating fitfully and we're looking at it as a matter of urgency to make sure it is working as soon as possible.
"It could be down to an electrical fault."
