Wow, two chip shops, an amusement arcade, a Morrisons and now a converted bus stop. Putting the French Riviera to shame. When's the Grand Prix coming?

Why is it so important that we have “shelters”? I can honestly say I’ve never used a shelter in my adult life. Is it just in case it rains? Are there people out there who run for cover at the first sign of precipitation?

Massive supporter of this ! Excellent news! Can't wait !
I am a massive fan of their charcuterie plates.
In the meanwhile, whilst planning application is ongoing, I hope the tram shelter can be used as a pop-up 'Red Devils' fanzone for the Euro 2020 final Belgium v. Ukraine

Dreary me, would be interesting if these moaners come up with solutions and ideas for once.
Instead it’s moan moan Moan.
Car parking and replacing a rotting shelter, class.
I was hoping it would open as the "Even Newer Monkey". Bit underwhelming really.
Gave you a like. I agree. However Sunderland was raped by greed and destruction of wonderful buildings became comonplace (Town hall). Let us cherish the few that remain as well.
I've never used the lighthouse or the death wall or small seating area on the top as you head to roker etc . It's managed to do canny so far 70 years after trams finished ,hardly an eyesore .
Put a cafe on the roundabout, that looks crap

The New Mexico 70 place looks like it will be canny as well

You must of led a sheltered life
Shelters are an iconic piece of British seaside culture
Keep it as it was intended
Seen loads of people use it when they require shelter from rain or just sit and eat packed lunches
it might stop all those lasses on a morning doing boot camps parking in the disabled parking bays
