CONSULTATION has started on a £100m city regeneration.
The firm leading the revitalisation of Sunderland are urging people to give their views on the plans.
Siglion, the joint venture company between Sunderland City Council and Carillion, managed by Igloo Regeneration, is developing the former Vaux Brewery.
A business district is planned for the site, which has stood derelict since 1999.
John Seager, Siglion chief executive, said: “There will be workshops for invited stakeholders to give their feedback on the plans, and a drop-in exhibition for members of the public in August.
“There will also be a questionnaire, which will be fed back to the design team.”
Mr Seager added similar processes will take place over a proposed mixed use development at Seaburn and residential development at Chapel Garth.
Information from the consultations will be submitted alongside planning applications.
Neil McMillan, Siglion chairman and Carillion development director, added: “It’s important as many people as possible take the chance to have their say on shaping the future of Sunderland.”
