ROAD CLOSURE – w/c 24th August 2020
It’s anticipated that the Mitford Road (B6343) will be fully closed just after the turning for High House Lane as you travel towards Morpeth (at Newminster Abbey Cottage) up to Lowford Bridge near the rugby club. This is to repair a previous landslip and improve river defences. The work may take up to 4 weeks (i.e. possible completion not until around 18th September) and the road closure is for 24 hours per day. Access for pedestrians and emergency vehicles will be achievable at all times.
Communication about this with nearby schools has been requested as has the potential for the road to be open in the evening – any updates to follow.
