I am pleased that following our campaign magistrates have granted an order under The Building Act Section 77, which gives Northumberland County Council the power to carry out works six weeks from last Friday to prevent the current danger at Prudhoe Drill Hall.
The six-week period is to allow the owner time to organise and undertake the work.
There will be at least weekly site inspections and the council will take action should the building deteriorate.
I welcome this update and I will continue to work with NCC to ensure this dangerous eyesore is dealt with.
