You have the chance to have your say on plans for the Bonnersfield and St.Peter’s area of Sunderland.

We have been working with Sunderland City Council and Sunderland University to prepare a framework, which will set out what kinds of development will be appropriate for this area in the future. Important consideration has been given to the fact that it includes the candidate World Heritage Site of St.Peter’s Church.

Plans include the expansion of the University’s St. Peter’s campus for academic, commercial and residential use, and the potential development of new housing, commercial and leisure development at Bonnersfield, Scotia Quay and Numbers Garth.

Exhibitions are being held at the following venues until 7 July:

Sunderland Civic Centre, Burdon Road.

The National Glass Centre, Liberty Way (until 30 June only).

Monkwearmouth Community Library, Church Street North.

Staff from the City Council and Sunderland arc will attend exhibitions at the following times:

The National Glass Centre
Thursday 3 June 10.00 a.m. to 2.00 p.m.
Wednesday 16 June 1.00 p.m. to 5.00 p.m.

Monkwearmouth Community Library
Monday 7 June 1.30 p.m. to 7.30 p.m.
