Sunderland college works underway…

Crews begin clearance of disused buildings as part of college expansion.

Work is underway to clear redundant buildings to make way for a new city centre development.

Demolition work is starting on redundant properties on Holmeside in Sunderland. It forms part of preparatory work on the wider Holmeside Triangle site.
