A NORTH-East shopping centre which had to be evacuated after a fire last week is almost back to full trading.
Captain Cook Square is open again, with just two shops closed, following the fire in a store room last Sunday.
The two shops still closed are ENRG, the gift and gadget shop where the fire started, it will reopen after Christmas, and JJB Sports, which will be opening a refurbished store.
Captain Cook Square is running a Christmas competition, with a prize of £1,000 to spend at shops in the square. Entry leaflets can be obtained from shops in the centre and the competition closes at 5pm on Christmas Eve.
The centre will be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day.
