Council signs off on plans to flatten iconic Ellesmere Port youth centre
A landmark youth centre in Ellesmere Port will be flattened to make way for low carbon homes after demolition plans were given the green light.
Cheshire West and Chester Council’s planning department has signed off on an application to bulldoze the The Oasis Centre on Coronation Road to pave the way for a £13m regeneration project.
The term "iconic" typically refers to something or someone that is widely recognized and well-established, often symbolizing a particular quality or idea. It's usually used to describe things that have had a significant and lasting impact on culture or society. For example, iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower or the Statue of Liberty are instantly recognizable and hold special meaning beyond their physical presence.
In a broader sense, something iconic often transcends its original context to become a part of popular consciousness, evoking strong emotions or memories.
Nope - it doesn't remind me of the Eiffel Tower or the Statue of Liberty and doesn't appear to transcend anything worth remembering. Maybe appearances are deceptive...
Maybe appearances are not deceptive.

Looks like your average youth centre to me. A run down hovel with a bit of graffiti on it
Bucko - yes, a place to depress local teenagers.
‘ …symbolising a particular quality or idea’
The idea in this case presumably being ‘everything round here is a bit rubbish, kids, so you might as well get used to it early’.
Macheath - yes, the message is quite clear.
I'd like to see the rest of Ellesmere Port before I rush to judgement.
Sam - good idea. Not at night though.
"Low carbon homes"
Which (presumably?) means they'll have Heat Pumps. By the time they are built Ed Milibrain's lunatic Net Zero policies will have decimated the UK grid, so they will probably be "Zero Carbon" homes most of the time!
Do they plan to do that with the youth inside?
Dave - good point, they will have to devise another marketing term to take that into account - "Zero Carbon Homes" it is.
James - some of them.
Our ancestors used to burn witches. We should burn architects.
dearieme - and lawyers.
