Newton News was contacted by John Tinley who is in charge of Town Centre Management on behalf of Freshwaters the Landlords.
He informed us the Town Centre will be relaunched on Saturday 16th November 2013 at 1.00pm with a live stage show culminating with a switch on of Christmas Lights at 5pm. The entertainment will includes an appearance of Amelia Lilly at 4.35pm.
Other performers include St. Mary’s School Choir, Darlington Operatic Society, Hayley McKay with a band, Solist Helen Millican and North Road Band.
The refurbishment works are now coming to a close although there is still some work yet to be completed  including the planting of the new trees, which cannot be done until the weather conditions are suitable.
