I am writing in disgust about the new hotel for the so called Sunderland city centre.

I refer to the article in the Echo on November 28 about the new £16m Keel Square hotel.

They should spend more money on getting more shops for the town centre.

It’s not a city centre and never will be.

You walk down High Street West and Fawcett Street and it’s full of pound shops and Greggs.

I don’t think we deserve to win city of culture, I really don’t, I am embarrassed to call it a city.
