The Barking Town Hall clocks are giving the right time again.
Barking people were left bemused after discovering three of the four clocks had slightly different times last month.
But the technical hitch at the 1958 clocktower has now been resolved.
A Barking and Dagenham Council spokesman said yesterday: “We’re happy to say the clocks have now been fixed.”
