I HAVE returned home after a visit to Northwich really rather disappointed by the new 'lifestyle' centre. What a monstrosity!

The design and size is totally out of sync with the rest of the surrounding buildings, and has no redeeming features whatsoever.

As a former Northwich resident may I ask just how on earth this was deemed suitable for the good people of the town?

It looks as though it has been dropped from outer space or has got lost en-route to a celebration of the 1970s.

On a more positive note, I think that the previous Floatel site has been magically transformed.

Perhaps that should have been shown as an example of what is required in terms of architecture to the so-called architects of the centre, it actually fits in with its surroundings.
