A farming family in one of the most remote corners of England say they have become almost “cut off” by the state of the road to their home.
The Byatt family, who live at Philhope Farm, in Upper Coquetdale in Northumberland, said the unclassified route along the valley was “the worst it’s ever been”.
Harry Byatt said: “Delivery vans have refused to come up here, we don’t get visitors, our girls can’t even have friends over.”
Northumberland County Council said it was “currently carrying out a mixture of structural patching works and safety related repairs to ensure the road is brought back into an acceptable and safe condition”.
