Alnmouth Parish Council calls for road issues to be resolved

Concerns about an uneven section of Foxton Road have been raised with Northumberland County Council and councillors hope it will be tackled in the next financial year.

Members were told that county council is aware of the poor road surfacing and faded road markings on The Wynd but there is no timescale for works yet.

Problems with surfacing on Marine Road were also reported.

Residents were also encouraged to log pothole issues on the county council website.

Plans to build a two-storey detached property on land south of Lint Close Cottages, Foxton Road, had been withdrawn.

An application for alterations to a house on Shepherds Hill had been refused.

The parish council has purchased a dog waste bin to place at the bus shelter at the High Buston Dunes junction.

A new litter bin has also been bought to replace one destroyed by a fire caused by a disposable barbecue.
