Durham and the Metrocentre have been on a downward spiral for years, largely due to unsustainable rents. Sunderland is dead and buried as far as retail goes.

Newcastle is also very easy and hassle free to travel to compared to the others.

The closest to Durham I get for shopping is Arnison Centre or the retail parks near Tesco, the actual city is awful.

The only thing I would actually bother going there for was CEX or Poundland, but they're both at Arnison Centre now
