Could anything be done to improve the external appearance of the Rayleigh Leisure Centre? It is hideous - a real blot on the landscape. From a distance it looks like an ugly industrial warehouse building.
It is to be hoped that if Rochford District Council is responsible for other public buildings in future, it will try to make them look attractive. One of the best ways a local planning authority can persuade developers to aim for excellence in design is by leading by example with public buildings.
