WITH the dale back under local lockdown measures there was little to be optimistic about.
Having embraced Eat Out to Help Out in August, cafes and pubs said they were now counting the cost of measures banning anyone from different households meeting up at their venues.
In Barnard Castle, the YMCA closed its premises due to financial pressures, the future of the Edinburgh Woollen Mill was thrown into doubt and beauticians said restrictions had dramatically affected their businesses.
A much-loved local actor and grandfather who “lived for being Santa” at annual events in Northumberland has died on Christmas Day.
Rhod Maclennan, 68, from Morpeth, was well known in the community for his appearances as Father Christmas during the festive period at venues such as Whitehouse Farm and Bamburgh Castle.
He was so suited to the role that he “convinced adults, as well as children, that Santa exists,” according to his wife, Sue Maclennan.
Mr Maclennan was diagnosed with cancer in June but continued to spread Christmas cheer throughout the holiday period, taking part in Zoom calls with children from Santa’s Grotto in the weeks before his death.
