That. It's a mess down there. Have they actually started building any attractions yet or just demolishing some of the eyesores?

The one area of natural beauty that Sunderland has over other North East cities and Sunderland Council are determined to slather it with cheap generic buildings
Welcome to Seaburn, twinned with Slough and Milton Keynes

They only have outline permission so they are not allowed to build yet. They have employed a team of architect and landscape architects (PAD Design are lead architects) and they have commissioned Simon Watkinson to be the lead artist for the site (I helped to choose him).
This whole thread is to complain about the redevelopment that has started.
Damned if you do...
Not Sunderland Council.
Wrong again
To design what for where? I hope whatever it is is on the right side of the road this time!
Well to be fair, as I said to Wilfy, if only investment that can be got is for offices, Which may lead to investment in leisure and entertainment investment, so be it. It's just a shame such prime sites with good views are being used for other things. BT at Shields and Vaux are two examples.

I've said nearly all I want to say on this thread. But I will finish with this:
Sunderland's architectural and developmental landscape over the last forty odd years has been akin to continually putting bad fillings into a mouth of rotting teeth, when regular hygiene would have been better.
The Vaux site represents the last chance for the town to prosper - get this wrong and it's done for.
Oh, and one little riposte to Sunderland Council's mouthpiece-in-chief if I may: if you look back over all of your comments you make numerous references to "shit". You seem to have a Freudian tendency towards this word, although perhaps not so surprising from one who speaks so much of it. (and there you are, a little smiley to add to your collection). Cheers all. Goodbye, until the next topic.

Best tune by the Oasis iirc
That sounds more positive.
Well I think that aspect of the river must have better option than offices, like the Vaux site. Shields, like Sunderland, have a major development going on down there which may utilise the location better.

Because the person making the point is more often than not an uninformed mood hoover...it is the sunderland way.
Take the OP for example....complaining that we haven't built a rusty crane

Are you really this thick or do you have to wor.....fuck it you really are this thick. And painfully unfunny.
Build a rusty crane? Are you mental? Why would anyone build a rusty crane....enlighten us all. Please.
It is beyond belief isn't it how anybody can defend this tribute to 1960s Soviet architecture. It's bloody awful.

Has anyone criticising office blocks on the Vaux site offered a cost effective, viable alternative?
Obviously in an ideal world we'd probably all move Hendon, stick a load of office blocks there and have footfall filter up through Sunniside in the direction of the Vaux site and a brand new Train station, but that's not going to happen and it's pointless looking backwards and criticising.

Answer me one question...honestly and without agenda...can you do that?

The OP criticism was a complete over reaction of a poor choice of word a tin pot radio station made.
However he's got previous form on this.
His points have been addressed yet he has failed to address questions that others have raised. Repeatidly pulled up for over exaggerating and telling lies. Many of his arguments are contradictory. He's just fault picking for the sake of it cos he's got an agenda against the council.
