There’s nothing worse than  having to live near a disappointing new building, spend time in a dismal town or  have to put up with bad planning decisions.


This is your chance to have a say and influence planners and  councils to think twice.  

The search is on for Scotland’s worst  â€˜Carbuncles’ as published by Prospect magazine.

Do you know a place  worthy of a coveted ‘Plook on the Plinth’ award for most dismal town? Or perhaps  a building fit for the ‘Zit’ award for most disappointing building? Maybe you  know of a bad town planning decision suitable of a ‘Pock Mark’ award?  If so  then the Carbuncles is waiting for your nominations.

The deadline  for nominations is 15 November.  Click here (http://www.mail-interactive.co.uk/accounts/link.php?URL=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5hcmNoaXRlY3R1cmVzY290bGFuZC5jby51aw%3D%3D&Name=&EncryptedMemberID=NjIzMDQ%3D&CampaignID=206&CampaignStatisticsID=161&Demo=0&Email=info@pressential.com)  and follow the Carbuncles link to nominate the developments (or lack of them)  that make your blood boil.

The competition is already heating up  with Paisley, Coatbridge, Ravenscraig and the new BBC Scotland building all up  for nominations. If you know of somewhere worse then we want to know. Remember  when deciding who or what you want to nominate it’s not about punishment for the  sake of punishment, we’re looking for unexploited potential, a lack of vision  and ambition by powers that be.

So if you have an opinion, want a public  platform to vent these frustrations and want to make a difference get nominating  now (http://www.mail-interactive.co.uk/accounts/link.php?URL=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5hcmNoaXRlY3R1cmVzY290bGFuZC5jby51aw%3D%3D&Name=&EncryptedMemberID=NjIzMDQ%3D&CampaignID=206&CampaignStatisticsID=161&Demo=0&Email=info@pressential.com)  . You can upload photos, make nominations and tell everyone exactly what you  think.

Any nominations?

Most dismal town I can think of is one called Patna.
Only been there on dull days and it aint nice!

Locally, a few parts of Dumfries need knocked down i.e. most of it.
