The only beach huts on Northumberland's picturesque coastline should be available to book all year round.
That's the view of the Northumberland county councillor for Croft. The use of Blyth's iconic 20 brightly coloured beach huts was restricted during the coronavirus lockdown, with only those who had secured long-term lets able to use them.
However, last month Active Northumberland - which runs leisure facilities across the county on behalf of Northumberland County Council, confirmed it would bring back daily rentals after more than 1,000 people signed a petition calling for the policy to return. Petitioners claimed the restrictions meant most of the community was unable to enjoy them.
