Coach park 'top priority' in Berwick
The creation of a coach parking area in Berwick town centre is a top priority, councillors have said.
One option for Northumberland County Council is to give the car park in Chapel Street a £200,000 makeover.
Further momentum has been given to proposals after the top three priorities for the Local Transport Plan (LTP) were revised by the environment and regeneration committee at Berwick Town Council.
Chairman of the committee, Councillor John Robertson, said: "Bearing in mind our need to resolve the coach parking issue, it has been suggested that we revisit our priorities to include coach parking as a means of demonstrating the town council's support for it, if and when funding allows."
He added that the current coach park is not up to scratch, but that the council's plan of action may solve the problem within two years.
