Seafront regeneration strategy

A citywide public consultation on the regeneration of the seafront was undertaken in 2009.

The consultation was aimed at finding out what the people who live in, work in and visit Sunderland feel should be the vision for the future of the seafront.

The results, contained in the Seafront Consultation Findings Report have informed the development of a Seafront Regeneration Strategy.

This strategy is an overarching document to guide the development of Seaburn and Roker seafront, and deliver the objective set out in the Sunderland Strategy (2008-2025).

By 2025 Roker and Seaburn will have a key role in providing cultural tourism attractions. The strategy identifies four main character areas which are Ocean Park, Seaburn Promenade, Cliff Park and the nearby Recreation Park, and Marine Walk.

The draft Strategy underwent public consultation between 8 August and 18 September 2009.
