Northumberland County Council has announced that the new £21m leisure centre and community hub is still on track for opening in early 2023.

Next year the Queen will be the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee marking her 70 year reign, and communities in Northumberland are being encouraged to celebrate to mark her achievement.
