Easier in what way exactly? Mackies is simple to get to and from really

Easier because you can park right outside on the road.
Not saying the one in the centre is hard to get to, but the one in Boldon is definitely easier. Especially if that’s all you are shopping for and don’t want to go elsewhere.

It’s a costly punt when the CC is dying on its arse. No worries if it’s private investment but I’d question if it’s good vfm for council tax payers when services are being cut.

Supported with over £700,000 funding from Sunderland City Council, Historic England and the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities (DLUHC) through the Future High Street Fund and Heritage Action Zone (HAZ) programme, the project has breathed new life into the Hindu Gothic style building while respecting its historic character and charm.

Id imagine only small part has been funded by the council and will have likely improved the assets value.

Not strictly true in that Mackie’s Corner is directly opposite & a fantastic job has been done on that.

Improvement is a gradual thing.

Agreed it’s gradual but interested to know who funded it because despite it not being what any of us want to see, the town is dying on its arse
