beauty or the beast?
Tricorn House in Stroud...should it stay or should it go? A classic building or should it be demolished? Local people and politicians in Stroud are becoming increasingly annoyed by the presence of Tricorn house...a building which at its conception was seen by some as revolutionary.
But now, attempts to get the derelict office block renovated or demolished have been thwarted. This week councillors are calling on the Building's owner to get a move on with any plans it has.

Martin in Stroud says there is no difference between Tricorn House, Stroud police station, the multi storey car park or even Gloucester Land registry office. They are all buildings from the 70s and that's that. The only difference is the others are occupied and looked after.
Jane in Stroud doesn't love or hate Tricorn house but she suggests they paint it white rather than the dirty grey colour it is at the moment...as they did that with the new modern building at Stroud College and it seems to fit in well.
