East Area

The East area of Sunderland includes Doxford, Hendon, Millfield, Ryhope and St Michael's.

Sunderland Council has been hosting public consultations in the area since 2019, to understand what residents think of their neighbourhoods and how they need to change to improve people's lives.

Here's what happened at just one of our meetings:

Some of the main issues raised during the consultations included:

• Support for those struggling due to universal credit 
• Support community facilities to enable more services locally 
• Improve cleansing 
• Empty and derelict properties should be dealt with, as places uncared for is creating anti-social behaviour
