If the BBC moved the league table to a different page on their site, Reuben could claim they had been awarded six extra points because of the takeover.

Why not? To attract more people into the City centre, who in turn will invest in the local economy outside of work/at lunch time, it may also attract people to relocate.
Washington is after all in Sunderland.

You are saying that but if they plan to build houses on the longbenton site swapping one pain for another.

We could definitely do with a similar boost
At least the Vaux site is now being developed as well as the Riverside down by Pallion way.

I see Jamie Reuben has already tweeted about it to get the puppets dancing. They believe it’s creating 9k new jobs for the region and that it’s happening because of the takeover.

even 1000 would make a big difference9,000 workers right in the middle of the City Centre. Imagine what that would have done for Sunderland City Centre
aye but lot of the council are still going to be WFH ?
re: the original article, im surprised it says 2027 as it looks as if it much of that area should all be ready by end of 2022

Not on a morning, when the kids are being dropped off and everybody going to work and the same later on. Might not get the parking issues but the congestion might actually be worst.

Think that’s when HMRC are due to leave Washington. Staff at Benton will be out of there back end of next year early 2023.

The idea is for people to use public transport
Exactly what the City needs. So much for levelling up.9,000 workers right in the middle of the City Centre. Imagine what that would have done for Sunderland City Centre

There was a campaign when Gilbridge House closed to try and keep it open( supported by local MP's and the Echo etc to keep the several hundred white collar jobs in the City and spending)
Fell on deaf ears and staff moved to Washington.
That's why it amuses me slightly when papers etc are screaming for Civil Servants to get back to work and boost the High Street economy.
Anyone seen where WVP is ?

No, both WVP and BPV expected to move in 2027.
OOOSH YEAH

Has that changed mate? HMRC lease on BPV is only until 2024 isn't it?
Not sure mate. Wouldn't be surprised like especially with Hybrid working
