Top councillors have agreed to fund a multi-million pound project to repair a key road that sustained major damage in a landslip almost a decade ago.
The B6344 was closed following a landslip near Rothbury in Northumberland in December 2012, and was then closed for three years as Northumberland County Council made repairs.
However, over the years the road continued to crack, resulting in constant mending. The road was closed for 10 weeks from April last year for more repairs, leading to fears of a decline in visitor numbers to Rothbury just as lockdown restrictions were lifted.
