The keys to a new cancer centre at Carlisle's Cumberland Infirmary have been handed over, meaning it won't be long before patients can receive treatment there.

It's hoped the Northern Centre for Cancer Care will improve services for people with the disease across north Cumbria, providing treatment closer to home rather than having to travel to Newcastle.

It is due to open by July offering radiotherapy and a chemotherapy day unit.

Phil Powell, manager for cancer services and clinical haematology at Newcastle Hospitals, which will be jointly running the service, said: “We are sure the environment will be a calming and reassuring place for our patients to receive treatment."

Essex make inroads into the Durham top order to finish day one on top, despite a batting collapse of their own.

Lisa Shaw's family say the 44-year-old fell seriously ill days after having the AstraZeneca jab.

A new coronavirus vaccination site has opened in North Tyneside which could welcome more than 5,000 people per week.

The centre, at the Cedarwood Trust community charity on the Meadow Well Estate, will operate from 08:00 to 20:00 each day.

Trust CEO Wayne Dobson believes it will make a difference to the 12,000 people who live in the area.

“Lots of people on the estate don’t own a car, and they have to walk or, if they have the money, get buses to get where they need to be.

“It could take some people half a day to get to another vaccination site, especially if they can’t afford bus fare, and that could stop them from going to get vaccinated.

“It is absolutely fantastic that this centre is now running from the Cedarwood Trust and will reach many people who otherwise may not have taken up the vaccine.”

Its opening comes days after the government asked people to minimise travel in and out of North Tyneside to combat the spread of the so-called Indian variant of Covid-19.

Twenty-three people have been arrested as part of a crackdown on county lines drug-dealing gangs.

Northumbria Police said it executed warrants in areas including Ashington, Sunderland, Newcastle, Gateshead (pictured) and South Shields - seizing cocaine, cannabis and ketamine, more than £20,000 in cash and three luxury watches.

The week-long operation was part of a UK-wide effort which saw 1,100 people arrested.

County line gangs are urban drug dealers who sell to customers in more rural areas via dedicated phone lines. It also sees people recruited by organised criminals to work for them in the supply chain.

Det Ch Insp Sue Fryer described it an a "monumental effort", adding: “While we do not see the levels of violence associated with county lines dealing prevalent in other areas here in the North East, we are working hard to keep it that way.”

Durham's chief operating officer Richard Dowson said having supporters back makes all the difference.

"All year with no spectators at the ground has felt very strange and we're looking forward to welcoming them back.

"We'll be following the guidelines, everything from making sure everyone scans in at the gates to wearing face masks in indoor areas."
