It's not like it's something new, this has gone on for decades but you still get some areas with one company employing damn near everyone.
the thing is not many new companies will invest up here either, its all down the south end sadly, we lost our ship yards, we don't even have anything to show for that now, as its all been ripped down, even our own brewery was flattened! Newcastle I would say is the only one that has really kept anything. Sunderland just gets f*cked about with.
Its nice to see the company I work for trying to get different contracts for other car companies just to keep our area going, ( and I don't mean just sunderland)
