THE loathed Lodges supermarket building in Holmfirth gets named and shamed on national TV.

Early in 2005, Channel 4 asked the public to vote for the buildings they want to see demolished.

These nominations formed the basis of Demolition, a series which investigates how Britain came to be littered with eyesores and considers what we can do about it.

Lodges' ugly, 1970s yellow-brick eyesore was voted Britain 10th worst building on the show.

Crews descended on picturesque Holmfirth in the summer to film the building and get the public's reaction.

Outspoken journalist Janet Street-Porter also came to town to argue the case for ripping the building down as part of the programme.

The Channel Four series starts on Saturday at 8pm and runs each day until the following Tuesday.

Royston Rogers, parish councillor and member of the Colne Valley Business Association, appears on the show calling for the building to go.

He said: "The film crew came up in the summer and then again in the winter.

"I personally think the building should be flattened immediately and something put in its place."

Other buildings featured include Northampton Bus Station, Gateshead multi-storey car park and the brand new £431m Scottish Parliament building in Edinburgh.

Executive producer of Demolition Nick Kent said: "This series is not just about architectural taste, it is about buildings which actually damage our lives and blight our communities.

"We set out to investigate how Britain came to be littered with eyesores, but we also wanted to explore what can be done about it.

"Many of these terrible buildings have survived for years, derelict and blighting their communities, but it is almost impossible to get them removed and replaced with something better."

* Developers are hoping the building stays and can be transformed.

Plans have been made public to change the former supermarket in to a small shopping arcade with flats. But arguments between Forward Developers and Kirklees Council have resulted in stalemate.

The council is refusing to accept the ambitious Victorian facade design that was originally planned
