New Road
17 February 2015
As you may be aware there are sections of the New Road between the Berwick Amateur Rowing Club and the Royal Border Bridge that over the last few years have shown signs of subsidence. Northumberland County Council are now in a position to carry out work to repair and stabilise these sections of the path. Work is pencilled in to commence Monday, 9 March, 2015. The footpath will need to be closed from its junction with Love Lane/Bridge Terrace to Castle Vale Park entrance at Gillie's Braes, on the grounds of public safety. In order to ensure the Temporary Footpath Closure is in place, with contingency either side of the proposed working dates, it is expected to have a legal closure in place from mid-February for four months, but the path will only be closed to the public whilst the construction work is actually taking place, which is expected to be three weeks.
