CS : Community Centre
What's happened to it? We rarely ever see it anymore.

Pat Phelan broke into it a few weeks ago and then fixed the damages and got paid for it.

Pointless set.
Corrie has tried to have a community centre on more than one occasion and it has never really worked. |

I think we should see the community centre more often, there is so much scope for different activities and events that could take place there. I'd like to see corrie move with the times and gradually expand this set, making it the focal meeting point for characters as opposed to the Rovers.

They had one for nearly 20 years- during the 70s and 80s. It was actually used quite a bit. Ena Sharples was the caretaker and in later years Percy Sugden.
From Ena Sharples's departure in 1980 until its demolition in 1989 it only featured in a handful of episodes. |

It was one of the lesser used sets admittedly. But,I do remember a number of stories from the 80s. IIRC,Fred Gee and wife Eunice lived there for a while. The Christmas eps in 82 featured a Dance there with most of the regulars. Then Percy's arrival in 83. I think that Annie Walker's final eps were at a Fayre there? I remember a Valentine's Dance there in 85 and a series of Tea Dances with the older characters in 87. Oh,and also the Council Elections when Deirdre beat Alf. There may be others,but those spring to mind. It was probably used more in the 70s. Even though it probably wasn't used as much as it may have been,I thought it was a useful set for Shows,Parties and Community events. I suppose in the days when they were restricted to 5 sets per ep.,they didn't use it unless there was no other alternative. I suppose it may also have been one of the bigger sets,and that was also a consideration. BTW,always enjoy your posts KornerKabin. It's great to come across others with a good knowledge of the previous eras of the show,

It is something for old ma Nazir to be seen doing when she is not nagging her husband or any other member of her family or trying to annoy Sally.

The problem is it's only a tiny little shop and there really isn't space for any kind of events. In the past the Rovers used to have a "room" where weddings, etc. were held. That was far more realistic. Nowadays even when weddings and wakes are (inevitably) held in the Rovers the festivities take place in the bar.

Good point, it's more of a community room really, Is there anyway it could be extended, what's next door to it?

Would they be better getting rid of the Medical Centre as it is hardly used, put the Community Centre in there, bigger building, more scope to do stuff.
If they still want a Medical Centre, then move that into what is now the Community Centre, much more realistic, for what is needed. |

I would like it if the community centre led to new characters being introduced so maybe them going to an evening class and meeting some regulars and becoming part of the show
