Whiners who would have us think that they would be high rollers lashing out enough spending in Sunderland to rejuvenate dying high street retail into its former glory if only they didn't have to find three quid to park.
Is Sunderland a city of the future?

They'd only complain that "there's nowt there man" even if it was free.

There’s ALWAYS an excuse as to why they don’t support local business.
They just can't be arsed. They need to admit it.

Plans submitted for third Sunderland electric vehicle gigafactory
The company already has one plant in Sunderland and is building a second.www.sunderlandecho.com
Haven’t seen this mentioned anywhere yet. A contingency by the look of it but an encouraging one nevertheless.
A contingency for what?

One is done, the second is underway. Getting planning permission for a third in advance will mean they can do it at some point if there is a business case.

I’d assume there is already a business case, as the other factory only produced 100,000 batteries per year and sure Nissan produce more cars than that now. If it is a contingency it will be a very expensive cost to get planning permission just in case.
Nissan announces £1bn 'gigafactory' boosting electric car production and creating thousands of jobs
Boris Johnson hails the investment, which it is claimed will create thousands of jobs, as a "major vote of confidence in the UK".

They've completed R&D with the expectation that they'll be in HYPER-EVs (600+ mile range) by 2026.
For what it's worth, Nissan are working on the same technology (solid state batteries) and have just opened a small scale production line in one of their Japanese plants. Nissan, for once in a long time, is trying to get ahead of the game.
Some more drone footage, not so much of the future other than the new coffee shop, but showing what lovely parks we have. The background does show the Port being as busy as usual.

Stärka has also been appointed to advise on the leasing of the leisure space within the Sunniside Leisure scheme.
Sammy Jones, co-founder of Stärka, said: “We are delighted to be advising Sunderland City Council on the implementation of its bold vision to transform the city centre. The entertainment district will be a new focal point for Sunderland’s social and cultural economy, and will be the perfect place in which emerging and established F&B and leisure operators can build thriving businesses. The quality, scale, and opportunity the council is creating are inspiring, and we share the team’s commitment to delivering something truly outstanding for the city.”

Real shame if its not going to be an arena or similar. That would fill the gap between empire and sol in venue size. It'd also bring jobs and visitors to the city. Interested to see what we do get though.last word about it been an arena was that any investors / backers wanted a brand new one built elswhere so looks like its getting pitched as some sort of social area maybe like walkergate durham?
