But with it being a indoor public area, There's Security on hand incase things get out of hand.
While in Open Areas, The Police are the only resource on hand to deal when things get nasty, Which makes the image of Sunderland pretty tarnished to visitors.
Hasn't been the last few times i went to Eldon Square, would think there would be with the size of it, it's the same as the Metrocentre, don't think I've ever seen security.
Anyway, i agree Newcastle is better but i'm always going to Sunderland because it's my home town but i still think bus companys should put more buses on.
But just hope in the next 5 or so years, Sunderland can become a decent city..
