Sunderland Railway Station Contribution and Public Realm
The high-level design of the railway station is now complete. Following discussions on the final design options as well as consideration to funding for the whole project, the detailed design will now progress with construction now due to start January 2017.
£2.9m has therefore been re-profiled into 2016/2017. The public realm works will follow the above station remodelling and is expected to occur late 2017, requiring £0.250m to be re-profiled into 2017/2018.

Made a document for the proposed upcoming changes in Sunderland so its easier for people to follow:
New Sunderland bridge takes shape as work presses ahead
http://www.sunderlandecho.com/news/local...z3yX7tqNv4
New Wear crossing - the next phase begins
New Wear Crossing Construction
The next stage of construction on our city's next landmark is getting underway but it means more roadworks for Sunderland drivers.
Part of Timber Beach Road linking Wessington Way to Sunderland Enterprise Park is shutting for good for the New Wear crossing bridge.
We can now see the major work going on, in the river as the first Sunderland bridge in 40 years takes shape.
Duncan Ross Russell from the project tells Sun FM about the latest development:

Update for Seaburn
Seaburn Update
We hugely value the feedback we received at the consultation events held last year and are still actively engaged in conversations that are influencing and shaping the proposals, as well as the technical surveys such as highways.
We are continuing to develop the vision for Seaburn and to assist in this, we recently appointed two local companies to work with ourselves and the design team to develop this vision, Creo Communications and Ashmore Consulting. They are busy gathering information and speaking to local businesses and residents and we look forward to sharing this with you and hope this will help in communicating the proposals more effectively.
We will be holding a further consultation event over the next couple of months, in late February/early March, and will advise you of the dates in the next week or so.
In the meantime please contact John or Katie at Siglion, on either john.seager@siglion.co.uk or katie.sully@siglion.co.uk if you have any further queries.

OUTCOMES FROM COMPLETED CAPITAL SCHEMES
Illuminations
Seafront and City Centre Illuminations – The 2015 Illuminations far exceeded expectations in attracting over
350,000 people to the Seafront over its six weeks duration. On its launch date the Illuminations was ranked number one visitor attraction in the country by Visit England and brought an estimated additional £1.5m spend to the Seafront economy. Enhancements were made to City Centre Christmas lighting including new displays at Sunderland Minster and the projection of Christmas messages and images onto the Empire Fly Tower.
And:
Sunderland Illuminations (Seafront and City Centre) – planned investment in additional lighting, lighting
features and attractions as well as related infrastructure will continue into 2016/17 in order to support expansion of the Sunderland Illuminations as it works towards financial sustainability. Council investment will also attract other inputs – financial and other - from public agencies and communities of interest along the Seafront.
And an application for HLF funding to renovate Roker Park:
Park Improvements – A bid is being prepared for HLF funding for Roker Park, for completion in time for the Tall
Ships in summer 2018.

[b]1.2.5 Sunderland Youth Zone Contribution up to £3.000m in 2016/2017
A contribution of up to £3m towards the provision of a youth zone in an accessible city centre location (Holmeside) is proposed. The project is to be delivered by Onside.[/b]

Some updates on roadworks around the new bridge on the Hylton side:
http://www.sun-fm.com/news/local/1885909...-underway/
Wearmouth Bridge lane closures: Sunderland crossing to partially shut for four nights as work takes place
The four nights of work - Monday 22, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday - will see loops on the bridge's southern side installed between 7.30pm and 5.30am.
The work is part of a new traffic scheme allowing all northbound traffic, including buses and taxis, into Bridge Street and then onto the bridge junction.
This revamped junction is being introduced later this year as part of the High Street West updates that started last month. Bridge Street will become a two-way route to include all traffic northbound as the existing one-way only system southbound is revoked. Southbound buses will continue to use the road into Bedford Street.
http://www.sunderlandecho.com/news/local...z40QDIF2WL
Wonder if this means once all the work is done, the buses will go straight ahead inside of turning to go past the cinema, it would be better.
Update on Seaburn:
Following our exhibition on the 2nd and 3rd of October 2015, we would now like to invite you to come and see our updated proposals for Seaburn seafront.
Details as follows:
The Seaburn Centre, Whitburn Rd, Sunderland, SR6 8AA
Fri 11th March: 1pm-6pm
Sat 12th March: 10am-2pm
Members of the design team and Siglion will be available throughout these times so drop in at your convenience.

Have your say over naming of Sunderland’s new £100million bridge
http://www.sunderlandecho.com/news/local...z40sokzcHk
Anyone got any ideas for names, I've seen a few and the one i currently like is:
"The Joseph Swan Bridge"
Suppose it is part of the wider Sunderland area via association
Prep work ahead of the demolition of Houghton Co-op has started.
The 15 year old building doesn't suit the Lidl brand and is being razed to the ground, ahead of a new store being built and re-modelling of the existing car-park.
Plans are available online.

Whats really annoying is they haven't designed it like Primark, (where u have to walk through the store to get in to the bridges) they should of, i think shops work better like that.
With the new build i hope New Look gets knocked down and moved, as its rumoured to be NEXT (the shop) moving in to the new build so i hope New Look would move in to the old NEXT shop.
