Sunderland Area Developments - St Mary's Way, Vaux, New Wear Bridge etc
Seems the new lights are starting go up on Keel Square.... shouldn't be long before its fully complete, i wonder if they will re-tarmac all of the road again, so it looks smarter, as atm it looks like a terrible temporary one, i can't wait to see it being complete, as its took ages, Looking forward to seen the water feature on and the bus lane finally up and running!
Next step after the road/square is complete, the VAUX site will get work done to it so it doesn't look a mess, so its ready to be built on by the start of summer.

(07 Feb 2015, 6:54 pm)AIG20 New lampposts appear to be going up in Seaburn as well. Hopefully these remodelling roadwork's will see the end of those ugly horrible large and thick lampposts with the two/three globes on top. The new pavements look really nice as well - much better than the red tarmac and grey paving slabs. The new curb stones opposite the Marriot Hotel also look like Granite.
However, I hope they get all of the work done before the summer as Seaburn is an absolute mess at the moment; and the temporary traffic lights are getting really annoying.

(07 Feb 2015, 7:18 pm)AIG20 The fairground is currently being used to store all of the dumpy bags and crates full of cement, dolomite, sand, paving and other materials; as well as all of the broken up tarmac, and so on.
I think those stylish brand new lights in the pedestrianized High Street West/West Street are the ones that are also going up in Seaburn.

Not Sunderland but Dalton Park
Big-name restaurant chains join £45m Dalton Park expansion – start date set for May
The owners of the Murton-based complex have announced they will welcome Pizza Express and Prezzo to its phase two development, which will also include a Morrisons supermarket, petrol station, hotel, pub and seven-screen Cineworld cinema.
The restaurants will join a drive-thru KFC and a Frankie and Benny’s diner which have already been confirmed as tenants.

Plans made to clear old Colliery/bus depot site.
There are some historic buildings and engine sheds round there, which may make for interesting photos prior to demolition.
Due to the size of the development, I would suggest some of the money is spent on improving the road infrastructure in the area - particularly around Herrington Burn and Shiney Row.

(01 Mar 2015, 8:55 pm)AIG20 I have found a massive Sunderland Council PDF document on the "Seaburn Masterplan":
http://www.sunderland.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=11091&p=0&fsize=10Mb&ftype=Seaburn%20Masterplan.PDF
On Page 49 & 50 it states that Lowry Road will be widened and the rood between the Morrisions roundabout and Dykelands Road will be reduced in width. There will also be more bus stops placed on Lowry Road which suggests that more services may use that road such as the E6, instead of only service 99.

The current work down Seaburn is really good, i hope they do something with the old fairground area and all the grass area behind it.
Still think they should knock down the Seaburn centre and pullman lodge... then re-build the Seaburn centre with improved facilities.
Has there been any further information on the New Bridge across the River Wear in Sunderland, as it looked like work has been started on the River Bank right next to the Retail Park on the Enterprise Park, along with the other side of the River at Pallion looking clear to make way for the Bridge.
