ALMOST £250,000 is to be spent on repairs to the breakwater at Berwick.
The Berwick breakwater interim repairs scheme has been put into the county council's programme as urgent work, after new damage was discovered last autumn.
Several large stones have been dislodged from the end of the breakwater just below the lighthouse and there is also some undermining in the seabed.
The objective of the £225,000 scheme is to reinstate the structural integrity of the breakwater and stop any further deterioration.
Work is expected to begin this month and is anticipated to last for approximately six weeks. Because some of the work is underwater, the timing of the work will depend upon the tides.
