Mark Warnes, Chief Executive of Active Northumberland said: 

“We know this is an incredibly hard time for many local residents who have been without power, heat or telephone reception since Friday night.  

“There are a number of rest centres operating around the county and we too are opening our doors to anyone who wishes to warm up and freshen up. Just make yourself known to a member of our reception staff who will help you access these facilities.”
