Plans being drawn up to commemorate the late Queen in Tweedmouth’s West End

Berwick East county councillor Georgina Hill championed the location to be included because of its natural beauty, its stunning views and in light of the late Queen’s visit there in 1956 where she was presented with a salmon.

Northumberland County Council has allocated £12,000 of funding and work has already begun to tidy up the area, including the nearby Riverside Walk.

Coun Hill said: “The plans are still being drawn up but, in short, there will be some capital spend on enhancing, new features including a new archway and an illustration board, and there will be planting of more grass seed, bulbs and some trees.

“I am grateful to the council leader who gave his backing to this scheme, the council’s local services team and the recently formed West End Gardening Group who will be assisting with the gardening aspect.”
