Save the National Glass Centre
Former Cllr Sam Johnston of St Peter's ward is campaigning to save the National Glass Centre - and with it 1300 of glass making on Wearside. Sam is working with the campaign group and even brought the Minister for Heritage and Arts Lord Parkinson to the National Glass Centre to see what can be done to save this vital piece of Sunderland history.
