Today marks the beginning of a new chapter in the history of Sunderland – as the development of the Vaux site gets underway.

I am as frustrated as anyone living in Sunderland that it has taken so long, but am also delighted that progress is finally being made. Read more about the project here: http://bit.ly/2hw9KQt
