Who'd want to stay in a hotel overlooking the job centre? Haha.

People?

Na, its true though, i wouldn't, hopefully the development means the roads/area can be changed.

If i got my way i would:

1. Knock down the job centre and the shops.

2: Move the bus stops down to where the E's stop, increase the stops on that part of the road from 1 to 3, reason why..... not sure people would stop in it if everyone will be standing under the canopy for the bus.

There's probably worse places in Sunderland that you could have a hotel overlooking. [emoji14]

Cineworld, Morrisons and KFC are due to take the keys for their plots next month, while Pizza Express, Frankie & Benny’s and Prezzo will take on their properties in May.

A firm to run the hotel and pub on site is still to be appointed, with a petrol station also being built next to its entrance.

A non-food shop will also open in the same unit as Morrisons, with the new business expected to be open this summer.

Wonder if this will be knocked down as part of the area development.

New Wear Bridge name: Crossing will celebrate Sunderland’s history and heritage


Sunderland’s stunning new Wear Crossing is going back to the future after hundreds of people had their say on the first stage of its naming.

Almost 1,000 people took part in the poll, and the result was never really in doubt. History and heritage was the runaway winner, racking up almost as many votes as the other three categories put together, with 45% of the vote.

I see someone has suggested Bridge McBridgeface as the name for the new crossing in the comments section of the link you've provided. 

I think they should go with that.

What's worse, loads of cheap shops or no shops?

Everywhere's the same, now. Bigun's collating a mental list of places with more than one poudland. Sunderland is right up there. Hard to beat the gigantic one in the old Littlewoods store, with another one just a few steps down from the back entrance.

(12 Apr 2016, 7:31 pm)Jimmi wrote What's worse, loads of cheap shops or no shops?

Rather have no shops, half of the units in Sunderland are empty anyway.

, that's some ambition, good on him, how is he doing?

I like the massive one where Littlewoods used to be, shame we have one just down the road, i heard a rumour before Christmas, that the one, next to where WHS smiths used to be would close and the staff would move to the one in where Littlewoods is.
