Thought it might be. Even though it's had a fair bit spent on it recently. Perhaps he doesn't go that way.

Yeah I can’t imagine it would be that building as it was never demolished.
Must be another one he's just made up. Unless he's not talking about Sunderland at all.
Still waiting.

Hes a well know WUM. Best to take his posts with an extremely large pinch of salt
That’s what’s needed in Sunderland, following Covid the leisure economy will boom. Need to flatten office blocks and redevelop them pronto.
If you wait long enough maybe you’ll put two and two together.
No. Still no idea what you're talking about. Any clues?

Or Peacocks which wasn't listed.
He's a WUM anyway, so will just be on his usual fishing trips

Well he would have a fair point if he means that.
It got in the way of a major council development, the most important development in the city (the new carriageways from the bridge into town).
Obviously it couldn't be knocked down so it got set of fire. Then they had another go at it and it was set on fire a second time when the first one didn't destroy it enough to demolish it.
It's clear as day what is going on there. They've now had to spend a fortune doing it up as a result of that stupidity.
No I don't have any evidence.

Ah fairs I missed that.
Still if his point is that there are funny goings on when it comes to properties that get in the way of council plans then I think he is on to something.
Doxford Gates?

And what about the civic centre?

I totally disagree.
I think the acquisition of the council setting it on fire is a load of bollocks, the road was already being constructed around the building prior to any fire. Moreover they had a developer willing to renovate it. I also think there was a local arsonist arrested. There are loads of fires around the sheepfolds and deptford, with people setting fire to pretty much anything. I was walking through galleys gill park and some nuggets had set fire to the rubber feet used to support herras fencing.
civic centre has not been set on fire has it? Again can’t see council doing that as they’d be liable for the potential spread of asbestos across the city.

The council simply wouldn’t be allowed to do such a thing. They could be questioned over how they looked after the building and if it was secure, acting negligible in that respect but certainly can’t imagine them purposely setting fire to it.
