Traffic Light Opinion/Clarification

In Rotherham there is a junction where the road veers to the right with a left hand straight on "turn" that for reasons best known to the planning bods is light controlled.  I have always assumed that these lights are only for the side road and continued round even whe they were at red, however a couple of times recently I have been behind drivers who have stopped here when the lights were red then when they turned green continued round to the right.

 

So, who is right?  Those drivers or myself??

 

Here is the junction

Seems pretty obvious to be honest, it's a traffic light on a single carriageway. It wouldn't cross my mind to continue round to the right if the lights were not on green.

 

Its also on my current cycling to work route, unexcitingly.
