LONDONDERRY - The town of Londonderry will open its emergency shelter for residents starting Oct. 31 at 4 p.m.

The public shelter, held inside the Londonderry High School gymnasium, will be open daily, as needed, from 4 to 9 p.m. for residents to use shower facilities as needed. Those who stop by for showers are asked to bring their own towels and toiletries.

Police Chief Bill Hart reminded residents that the facilities are also being used by high school students at the same time, and to be courteous of others.

Hart said the need for the facilities will be re-evaluated daily as more and more households get their power restored.
