Sorry, pet, but that sounds like immigration and this is a Brexit town.

Definitely need to get Sunderland connected back up to the east coast main line.
They should concentrate getting rail traffic into Sunderland from the south

Well you could have put the new structure in a hundred other places on the Vaux site and still have kept the vista... why didn't someone not check it out first? You could prob do it from Google Maps.

The best vista in Sunderland was coming down Chester or Durham road and the view of Minister was fantastic and then they built the shit tip of a Travel Lodge to block the view. It was a great car park and at the time there was loads of places the Travel Lodge could have gone. Anyone complaining about the Vaux site should remember there was great big brewery there not long ago. No jobs in the city centre but look at the derelict land and the lovely view!

Steels are going up.

Well Done Sunderland Council!

It's garn ter block the nice view of the sea as you turn off the roundabout going east to the bridge I noticed today. Another box killing the skyline.

Would have been much better to knock the high street down, build a more modern version with Riverside bars and cafes with a link to Keel Square which could have become a Business quadrant.

Then youd have had your offices and a feature that would make people want to visit the city.

Dinnit worry, you'll not see the new structure soon...they'll be building another 4 bigger structures in front of it.


Well Done Sunderland Council

Are you a town planner?

 

[royaldragon]

Build underground.

They have, you just can't see that Vaux has been developed for years and no one has noticed.

Shows a lack of ambition from the labour council that they haven't done it already
