How about some restaurants and such like, similar to what's been done in Durham over looking the WearWhat do you think should be on there?
The views will up the market price for the residential making it viable. Also hopefully keep people in the city and attract people from outside.
Suspect the design will have been driven by funding therefore restricted by budget?
Agree ideally it would have been a different material.

Ok ta.There's an arms length charitable trust which may be responsible for maintaining it. Sounds like theres 3 different parties involved & not sure who's responsible for what.

ATG.Yeah it’s ran by ambassador group or someone.
My guess is that it's not on the Council's priorities. Is it owned by them these days? It was previously run as a civic amenity. I think we should be grateful it's still there and is doing well. It could easily have gone at least once in the last 100 years (Adolf for instance). I know of at least 2 that have now been demolished.
My concern now is that it will never reopen.
It's a huge asset and is being used to pump prime the businesses in that area, Fire Station, Peacock, restaurants (before Covid).Yea I don’t disagree. The main thing is the operational side of it in that it can accommodate west end productions. I’d much rather have that than not have a theatre full stop.
I have given umpteen solid suggestions and highlighted past misdemeanors and mis management of said council which your type conveniently choose to ignore.Your arguing points are as weak as the said councils ambition and vision both past present and future.My guess is that it's not on the Council's priorities.

You are good at castigating people but when we ask you for solid suggestions you know sweet FA. Do you post on FB by any chance.
Come back with a much more sensible argument. Until then please adjust your rose tinted specs.
Unreal.Of course it would have made a difference.Excusrs excuses.Raise your bar and stop accepting third rate results,stalled regeneration,etc etc etc.People like you are part of the problem here too readily and willing to accept failure and second best if were lucky from a failing Labour council and politicians.

Vital that it reopens.
I think we all know there’s no where to eat in Durham.How about some restaurants and such like, similar to what's been done in Durham over looking the Wear
My son works there.New building is going to be the civic centre, the other building is rented to Ocardo and a few other companies
Any recent pictures of this? Haven't been on wearside in months to see itIn slightly related news. WDSC
Go to the Empire regularly. Never really notice it as it's high up. What do you suggest and should run the Council? Please don't say, Anyone but Labour.
Well ok tell me how it would have made a difference?
Also how can you say the theatre extension is a failure? Ok it might not look like you want it to but it presumably delivers what it is designed for?

To be fair, the views of the river, in arguably a better location given you get a cracking view of bridge and sea, did absolutely nothing for the echo24 appartments or the ones directly opposite.
I think with the theatre being able to host the big shows is a massive thing, and the adding of a 4star hotel in close proximity is a really good and hopefully there is a deal to do a show and sleep tickets. The Fly Tower looks like a corn beef tin and I think it would look better with maybe a laser-cut metal design wrapped around that is backlit by LED's
What are your views on the horrendous steel shedding structure addition attached to the empire theatre a few years ago ??? Cheap and nasty option as is the labour council way.
