Following more recent flooding, Northumberland County Council have confirmed that it has had to secure wayleave agreements to enable a new highway drainage system to be installed on private land adjacent to the adopted highway.
The council expect all of the documentation to be completed and to undertake the implementation of the drainage scheme as well as resurfacing of the road this autumn (2022).
I am delighted that after campaigning with local Prudhoe Town Councillor, Chris Barrett, NCC have confirmed their plan to tackle a problem that has been causing problems for people and businesses in Prudhoe.
It is brilliant that the Council have listened to residents’ concerns. The drainage system and resurfacing of the road will make a difference to local people.
