Work begins on Blyth's multi-million pound state-of-the-art learning centre

Work is under way on a new project that will help put Blyth at the heart of the UK's green energy revolution.

Officials from Northumberland County Council, the Port of Blyth and the North of Tyne Combined Authority broke ground on the £13.6 million Energy Central Learning Hub on Wednesday.

The state-of-the-art facility will be part of the Energy Central Campus and is being delivered as part of the £90 million Energising Blyth programme aimed at revitalising the town and bringing new prosperity to south east Northumberland.
