Vaux site

[Meathead]

Seems to be a real buzz around the place at the minute with the two new office blocks, bridge and now this. Long may it continue.

Warra load of utter tosh. It just proves they are desperate to fill the Vaux site with any old shite the can get their hands on. No plan, no vision, no f***ing clue! What happened to all the f***ing models of the vaux site? The sooner these twats are voted out the better!

U ok hun?

"What? Nee fun pool with slides and stuff" And what about an ice rink? Or a 10,000 seat arena"?

My personal fav is the bloke that wanted a Center Parcs to be built on the site of the old fun fair.

It was the same when The Beam was little more than a skeleton of metal. That turned out fine.

Sunderland seems to have a fairly decent % of the population who are radged about the council and seek to blame them for everything that’s wrong with the city and their own lives.

They are everywhere. It's easier to moan than actually come up with something positive.

 

[Mowgli]

wait until the site of the existing hospital is turned into exec housing.

If they build houses on the old eye infirmary site then they'll be a canny high price like.

I think the problem with Sunderland is that it is to reliant on the council to do anything in the city. Most other successful cities are developed and delivered by the private sector, as where there is profit there is opportunity. The issue in Sunderland is that there is little in the way of profit and as such development budgets are restricted and the quality or scale gets reduced accordingly, to add to that they councils appear to be under real budgetary pressures. the council then get berated for investing in developments at the expense of delivering services which i believe is often untrue.

The council somehow need to create the conditions that private sector investment is viable, thus reducing the reliance on them.

Agreed. But no doubt the council / nhs will be corrupt as they won’t deliver affordable housing.

A lot of the FB lot have the view that there are queues of large companies waiting to set up in Sunderland.

Certainly will
I hope it’s social housing and sit back and listen to the twisting
Would prefer an ice rink or swimming pool

The good news for Sunderland is it won’t always be like this and it will eventually attract inward private investment.
There’s a real buzz about the place. Things are changing and it will be a great place for business!!!!

I agree and things to seem to be changing. Just need the names projects to get on site soon to give private sector more confidence.

 

[bobster999]

is the eye infirmary the healthcare building mentioned in the plans or is this in addition to that?

It's the building mentioned in the plans. I think there's only 2 plots left (either side of the new city hall?) that haven't been claimed.
