'At best it's a car park and at worst a nuclear bunker'
Sunderland Echo
|October 11, 2025
Locals are furious after a huge indoor reservoir resembling a 'Soviet nuclear bunker' was built in their village.
-
Residents in Springwell Village were shocked to discover the vast structure being erected a stone's throw away from their homes.
The imposing 100m (328ft) by 75m (246ft) building is the same size as three football pitches and stands 9m (30ft) high.
It was built to hold a staggering 9.5 million gallons of water-enough to supply 50,000 homes through 5.5km (3.4 miles) of underground pipes.
