Northumbrian Water has begun a £1.5 million project to protect the bankside adjacent to Dunstanburgh Road and the Craster wastewater pumping station in Northumberland, following erosion accelerated by winter storms in 2025/26. The work, delivered by Esh-Stantec, involves installing a rock armor embankment using locally sourced stone and is scheduled to complete in November 2026, with additional bankside reinstatement and vegetation restoration.
