BRIDGES Community Centre has confirmed it won’t be open again until the New Year as teams at the centre begin cleaning up after the devastating aftermath of Storm Claudia.

The community centre is 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.
