BRIDGES Community Centre have confirmed they won’t be open until the new year. They are beginning their clean up after the devastating aftermath of the storm.

The community centre are aiming to open in early mid-January to get some of their facilities back.

For anyone who has a Christmas lunch or private event booked between now and the end of the year, a member of their team will be in contact, but they need some time to get their booking system back online.

They have dedicated a flood appeal page for members of the community who have wanted to donate, helping them through this difficult time.
