Demolition of Sunderland’s Civic Centre is now underway, paving the way for 265 new homes to be built.
The municipal building on Burdon Road was vacated by Sunderland City Council earlier this year, after it relocated to City Hall at the old Vaux site.
Demolition contractor MGL Demolition, part of the MGL Group, has now started to dismantle the 1960s building - which will unlock the development of a sustainable community of high-quality new homes.
