Antonine Centre
The Antonine Centre is a Shopping Centre in the Scottish New Town of Cumbernauld. The centre has of retail space including a Tesco Extra (in a separate building to the main centre, attached by walkways) and a Dunnes. The centre was expected to open sometime in May 2007, but instead opened on 6 June 2007, following delays caused by planning disputed over the pedestrian walkways connecting the complex to existing buildings.
==Historical background==
Cumbernauld Town Centre, developed in the 1950s, has been considered one of the ugliest in Britain, twice winning ''Prospect'' magazine's Carbuncle Award for the most unpleasant town centre in the country;〔,〕 in 2001 it was described as "The Kabul of the north" while the entire town centre was nominated as Britain's ugliest structure in the Channel 4 programme ''Demolition''. This is ironic as much of the surrounding area contains highly sought after residential property and is ideally located for ease of access to the major conurbations.
The £40 million Antonine Centre project was launched in 1995 as part of a plan to change the nature of the town centre and public perception of the town. However, some have remarked that the new centre seems to have been designed to complement the architecture and look of the existing structures, which are so disliked by the majority of local residents.
