Repair work starts on Bamburgh toilets
In October last year, the public toilets on Church Street had to close after the roof collapsed.
The design works, tendering and ordering are all now completed and the rebuild and refurbishment began on Tuesday.

Coun Guy Renner-Thompson, Bamburgh ward member on Northumberland County Council, said “The initial repairs to the toilets were postponed while negotiations between a third party and Northumberland County Council were ongoing which would have seen a brand new toilet block built elsewhere in the village.
“Unfortunately, those talks came to nothing so it’s back to Plan A, repair and refurbishment of the existing block.
“In the meantime, I requested extra replacement porta-loos in the car park, which have now been installed.”
