The Wylam Parish Council released the dates filming Vera will take place at Points Bridge below Hagg Bank.

A social media post by the council said: "There will be some effect on users of the waggonway wanting to cross the bridge. Whilst the route will not be closed, the use of the bridge for preparation works will limit the available width for users to one side of the bridge. There may be some impact on the war memorial car park and the playing fields, and there will be vehicles on the waggonway from time to time."

From Monday, May 22 to Friday, May 26 construction work will take place on the bridge.

Monday, May 29, Tuesday, May 30 and Monday, June 5 will be filming days and the bridge will close.

From Tuesday, June 6 until Friday, June 9, the bridge works will be deconstructed.
