Action must be taken at a crossing over an Eden beck before there is a fatality, a parish council clerk has warned. Stuart Sanders, clerk for Crosby Garrett parish council, said the last straw which prompted a call for something to be done came when a van got stuck in the beck near the hamlet recently. We honestly did think ‘they’re looking for a body’,” he said. The driver of the vacated vehicle was eventually located, however, and police said no injuries were reported. However, Mr Saunders fears there will be a fatality at the crossing over Scandal Beck if more is not done to highlight the dangers, with drivers being caught out by the water.
