There was talk of the usual shite such as a B&M, Greggs Drive Thru etc.

Generic home bargains/ Costa coffee / Lidl type retail park from what I remember. KFC maybe too.
Just what the town needs
More sugar, salt and fat. Not good. Welcome to the 51st state of the USA.

Unfortunately it 'brings jobs' into the city. That's all that matters.
Even though it's just another small nail along with the millions of other small nails in the coffin of independent businesses

It always makes me laugh that they advertise it as 30 new jobs without mentioning the existing jobs that will now disappear. Only so much crap people can buy.
And song.

Could be a great sight for a multi storey car park, short walking distance to the town

The same Silky councillors that are pushing for it rejected planning permission for a new independent Italian restaurant in Silksworth a few year back.

Just read the Farringdon councillors are rejecting a metro station up the top of Farringdon over a piece of scrub land.

Whereabouts are they wanting to put it? Would mean a decent length extension that.

A Metro station where?
There's fuck all around there to get a new line in - that was all poo-poo'd donkey's years ago.
That is why the Metro ended up in South Hylton.

That "could" lead to a Metro station.
Could - being the primary wording here.
By the way, these 3 Tory feckers in St Chads ward, are so far up their own arses, that the bumf they post through our doors - are only mentioning what the Labour Council are NOT doing. - Sweet FA what they would do about things.
The only thing that they have done is reducing the A690 Durham Road speed-limit from 40 m.p.h. (an A road - and the primary route from the A1M into Sunderland) - down to 30m.p.h.
This reduction has caused tailbacks out of the City as far back as Bede Bank at evening rush hour as an example.

Didn't even think that was up for debate. I doubt the metro extension is even a realistic possibility with the amount of cut backs these days.

Good. Shocking that it's been left like that for so long. Prime site for house building you'd think.
FFS man. Won't use any of them.
