Vaux Site

[steve30000]

Not the point is it. It was promised, heralded and of course we got the models and fanfare....but as per f***ing usual it disappears without a trace and with no explanation.

Absolutely typical of the clowns that run this City.

Cos we never kick off. Got to stay classy

Its probably questionable them releasing so many artist impressions and CGI's before the schemes are guaranteed. There's been a lot of projects fell by the wayside after releasing imagery to the public. You've got to wonder if its to pacify the public, sadly it has the opposite affect. Partially in their defence there has been many schemes that have been completed, and they deserve credit.
In terms of "launch" sculpture, who knows if funding wasn't secured or they just listened to people's views that it isn't very good?
Personally I don't think its a fitting tribute to the city's industrial heritage.

Anyone know who the artist(s) is behind it?

I am always positive but pertinent questions of the council need to be asked. Such as why everytime I go to Newcastle there are new buildings going up. When I go to Sunderland there is one building going up which has stalled and looks awful. Check my posts- I have always been positive about Sunderland but after 20 years the Vaux site is a disgrace. To ask the Sunderland Council why Sunderland has died while Newcastle has prospered is a valid question. There may be valid answers but the council need to have a plan to address Sunderland's demise because what is happening on the Vaux site is not it.

Privately built and funded in Newcastle?

Anyone with a decent sized workforce, the main issue with the city centre is there isn't enough white collar workers, any company that brings that in is beneficial to the city.

And which company do you think would be brave/daft enough to commit to that site, given it's taken 20 years to half build one office block?

I always try to be positive about Sunderland but i'm glad they've never built that launch sculpture. Its horrible and would be a waste of cash.



2019 is the 20 year anniversary of the brewery shutting....

Check out this news site at the time

BBC News | The Company File | Vaux breweries close

Even the internet was young then!

So what has happened in that time?

I'll start...

4 x UK prime ministers
4 x USA Presidents
6 x SAFC relegation's and promotions
21 x SAFC Managerial changes

No matter what way you look at it, its a long time for a prime piece of land to be undeveloped.

I think the Vaux site was closed before google and amazon started too.

What relevance has that got? The office space is there now, that’s all that matters.

Is it? Still looks unfinished when I drove past earlier on.

No they aren’t, there’s a second building being built for the council.

Brilliant news.
Link?

You’re very quick to say how good the council are and how well Vaux is going. If they had any tenants you’d have it posted all over.

Nothing at all on the internet either.
