Street clubs and centres demolished (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crescent

'street' is the definition.
(crescent-shaped street)

'clubs and centres demolished' is the wordplay.
'clubs' becomes 'c' (abbreviation in card games).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'demolished' is an anagram indicator.
'centres' is an anagram of 'rescent'.
'c'+'rescent'='CRESCENT'

(Other definitions for crescent that I've seen before include "Shape of waxing or waning moon" , "Phase of the moon" , "Curved aspect of the moon" , "Shape of new moon" , "looking sickly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
