Active Northumberland, the charitable trust that manages leisure services across the county, will run the new sports complex on behalf of Northumberland County Council.

Willmott Dixon said that the new complex is a part of Northumberland County Council’s £65m countywide investment programme to upgrade and transform sport and leisure facilities and to improve the customer experience.

Anthony Dillon, managing director for Willmott Dixon in the north, said: “The creation of top-quality leisure facilities to encourage health and wellbeing are vital to help our communities thrive.

“Morpeth Leisure Centre will combine that with a new community services hub; a space that will bring people together and create a fantastic learning environment.”
