No pleasing some people, aye the new square isnt exactly going to transform Sunderland in Paris but it's a 1,000 times better than what was there before.
I'm all for knocking the council, but i think some people have an over exaggerating idea what the council can actually do, they cant force companies to set up in Sunderland, they cant force more/better shops to open, they cant force more/better bars or restaurants to open.
But they can do projects like this which should hopefully encourage private investment in to the area (such as the hotel that is being going to be built in the boarded off section to the side of Keel Square).

Agreed, it's took eternity and it's a paved area with a small water feature and some greenery.
Nice like but is that it?

Don't know if they are published anywhere but I've walked past a few times and the paving with them carved in runs in a direct line towards the Bridges and is in date order.

They didn't have to fix it, it wasn't broken....
It's just a gimmick and an attempt to make them look like they are improving Sunderland...
If they did something worthwhile I would congratulate them...
Too many on here are easily pleased!

How is it a gimmick? They've improved the area to make it more appealing to businesses. Not everything they do has to be a massive statement.They didn't have to fix it, it wasn't broken....

It's a step in the right direction marra.

Reduced business rates and free parking would be better for business than some decking with a few pissed up tramps.

Why is that?

Because park benches next to cheap, crap pubs and law courts attract tramps and drunks. The only reason normal punters will be in that area is to walk through it going somewhere else.

There is every need..... They are never held to account for anything coz the good old Sunderland folk keep voting them in! The Vaux site alone has been a complete shambles since, the buildings were demolished...
