Hide AdAs previously reported, members of Wooler Parish Council have raised concerns about the impact the removal of the current ford will have and, at their December meeting, they called for a public meeting to thrash out the proposals.
The ford has, for some time now, been a problem to salmon and sea trout seeking to migrate upstream to spawn.
