The closure has been requested by Northumberland County Council due to the likelihood of danger to the public as there is severe flooding along sections which is proving impassable for traffic and danger to walkers, furthermore this is causing the land to slip and give way. There is also severe rutting which has caused damage to vehicles and diesel spillage and there is also deterioration to farm fencing which is allowing livestock to roam freely.
Dated this 2nd day of May 2024.
