Local Residents Remove Greenpeace Climate Mural From Scorched Welsh Hillside
Residents say the scheme would narrow the road and remove bus laybys, while an independent survey found 90% opposed or concerned.
- Around 80 residents gathered yesterday at Seaton Sluice Community Centre to oppose the A193 Seafront Active Travel Scheme, citing concerns over proposed road narrowing and safety risks to the village.
- Local frustration stems from perceived poor consultation: 82% of survey respondents were unaware of the 2025 consultation, while 86% felt there had been "insufficient opportunity" to influence the scheme.
- Resident Ian Truby called the changes a "nightmare," questioning why £14 million would be spent altering "something that's not broken," while Roy White warned narrowing would make reversing onto driveways "very difficult."
- Northumberland County Council updated designs to reinstate bus lay-bys following feedback from six in-person events and an online survey. Deputy Leader Cllr Richard Wearmouth said the design was not final and the council was listening.
- The council has delivered information about upcoming public events to approximately 1,700 properties, maintaining commitment to balance local feedback with the project's goal of linking Blyth and North Tyneside.
