Lizzie Middlemiss, who runs Deyn’s Deli cafe on Castlegate, was taken by ambulance to The Northumbria Hospital in Cramlington where a steel plate was inserted in her foot.

She said: “I was visiting Marshall Meadows by arrangement to view their walled garden and I fell down a hole in the land next to the walled garden. It took nearly a hour for the ambulance to come by which time I was really stressed and about to pass out. It couldn’t have come at a worse time when I am really busy at work.”
