FED-UP residents have no access to a village foreshore as progress to find a permanent solution to protect a beach has stalled.

Bradfield parish councillor Glynn Graves called for action to push forward plans to find a compromise for using Shore Lane at Tuesday night's meeting.

It comes two years after large concrete blocks were placed at the entrance to the lane to stop vehicle access to the beach on the bank of the River Stour, which had been used to launch boats.

Mr Graves said: “If they need to use that area, they should be able to use it."
