I don't like it much, but it does seem to be designed not to make too much of a statement. The area it's in is quite commercial, there are some residential areas close by but it's sat next to a train line. I'm sure our ex-mayor and current councillor has something to say about it as she's a direct neighbour.
I think it's an improvement on what is currently there (though that's not difficult!) but i'm surprised that such a dominating design will be tolerated in an area full of expensive houses and nimby types.
Despite it being an improvement, it feels very 'eastern block' to me. Colourless and maybe a little drab?
