Improvements at a popular walking spot in a coastal Northumberland town have been completed after months of work.
The promenade at Newbiggin-by-the-Sea is a popular spot for a stroll, with views of the Couple Statue, which looks out over the North Sea. Work focused on improving access by levelling off the slipway where it crosses the promenade.
The previous slipway was steep and caused accessibility issues for promenade users, particularly those with limited mobility, wheelchair users and people with prams. The work, which included a beach reprofiling exercise to slow the migration of sand to the north end of the bay, started last October, and was completed on schedule ahead of the Easter holidays.
