City fellow to applaud going round street (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

manchester

'city' is the definition.
(Manchester is an example)

'fellow to applaud going round street' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'man' (I've seen this before**).
'to applaud' becomes 'cheer' (cheering is a kind of applauding).
'going round' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'street' becomes 'st'.
'cheer' going around 'st' is 'chester'.
'man'+'chester'='MANCHESTER'

(Other definitions for manchester that I've seen before include "Synthetic cream (anag)" , "Airport in north-west England" , "It was once snarled up with cars" , "English city" , "See 22" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
