I’ve stumbled across this video by accident and would like to thank you for its content 👍🏼 I live in Hartlepool, born and lived here 41 years. We wouldn’t want anyone to know how fantastic it really is here, the lovey beaches, friendly people and Christ don’t tell them it’s £2 a pint and how low house prices are it’s criminal! my 20 mile commute takes me 20 minutes, I’ve just been to London for 4 days and witnessed a mugging! Never seen that in Hartlepool, you can’t judge a town on statistics, it’s community spirt and a level of happiness and I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else! I question your motive and agenda on these videos.
Well said, don't forget the pointless stabbing of children over a daft postcodes, its these lads that need help / guidance and for the system to understand why this is happening, then you have areas of London that are flowing with cash, and don't give a rats ass about the tragic deaths.
Yet December 2021 Hartlepool is the 2nd most dangerous town in Durham, but you’ve never seen a mugging. What about sexual assault as that is 41% more likely to happen in hartlepool than Lambeth. You could flip it back as you are 280% more likely to be robbed in Lambeth. But would you rather be sexually assaulted or robbed?
How "rough" a place feels is usually the difference in inequality between rich and poor, rather than absolute poverty. That's why parts of London, West London especially feel so shitty. The average might be high but gap between rich and poor is huge
If an area feel shitty is because is shitty, without comparation. Something feel shity if their people are not civic (leaving everything dirty, not taking care of their gardens, not maintaining the front of the house, etc). That has little to do with being rich or poor and a lot about education. I am technically poor and you wont see my grass not cut, rubbish in the road in front of my house, my front door not painted in 20 years and you wont see me going to the Tesco in my pyjamas. That is what makes a road look shitty and has nothing to do with the money. Maybe the rich just pay somebody to do all that stuff, but it is not an excuse for that level of lazyness.
The Halton Castle pub on the road between Skelmersdale and Ormskirk has recently been demolished after standing empty for years. Shame - it was a nice, friendly pub with good beer and food.
@@waverunner3911 The long term economic and political goal of the monied elites in the UK and US is to eradicate the middle class economically and politically. We must eradicate the monied elites instead.
£8m wouldn't go anywhere because by the time the council had spent a year consulting various companies to draw up plans and make models, gone on a fact finding mission to several European countries to see how they would do it, claimed their expense's, then put out a tender for the cheapest company to do the work, that goes bust before they even start , there would only £3.47 left.
A lot of these are old seaside towns which went into decline once holidays abroad became cheaper. I wouldn't say they were bad places to live though. Cheaper houses cheaper taxes and compared to most cities a nice population size. No crazy traffic jams. Not too noisy actually nice places to live.
@Pontiac Soviro I get mixed up between the two as he sounds the same solo as he does with the Smiths whereas Phil Collins sounded different with his solo work than he did with Genesis because Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks have a huge influence on the song writing and background music.
They became retirement enclaves because the housing was cheaper as there is low employment other than in the tourism trade and even that was dying. And it's even worse now as some seaside resorts such as Rhyl are used to dump people straight out of prison because of the cheap accommodation. People quite rightly didn't want to stay in guesthouses with lots of rules and not being able to stay there during the day in bad weather. They either wanted to go abroad with guaranteed sunshine and warm weather or go into self catering accommodation or stay in holiday camps such as Butlins or hotel complexes with leisure facilities and entertainment included in the prices. We opted for self catering accommodation on both the coast and inland and went exploring by car. More freedom with that and you could stay in if the weather was bad or you weren't feeling well.
I had to do some work in Jaywick and it was heartbreaking to see the living conditions of some of the inhabitants, that was back in 2007, I'm often haunted by the experience to this day. Stay strong my Jaywick brothers and sisters.
Jaywick has one the nicest stretch of beaches in England ,you be pleasantly surprised.As a past resident of Jaywick I can tell you it’s split into three areas ,Tudor Estate which is not bad with nice houses and bungalows .The residents there are loathed to call it part of Jaywick so they call it West Clacton.Jaywick village which is in the middle has fairly nice houses ,and finally Brooklands ( every road is named after a car) where the pictures are taken and the Tv programme was made.It’s not as bad as it was but in parts it’s a absolute tip and really dirty ,sadly it’s been given up on by tendering council for years and left to fester.
It was a holiday village at one time for Londoners who had second homes which is why the houses are so small and flimsy. Then when people stopped wanted to go there at weekends and on holidays they sold their homes to poor people.
There is a lot of new build in Elmsall and quite a bit of industrial development with distribution and warehouse employers. Its nonetheless disgraceful that Wakefield Council has failed to significantly support the area when investing in other areas at the expense of Elmsall and Kirkby.
I would give more credence to this "report" if the author had spent some time actually looking around the areas. The Old Mill public house used to illustrate the entry for South Kirkby was knocked down over 10 years ago. On the hill above Elmsall there has been considerable investment in warehousing and distribution and this is ongoing. There is a lot of new housing. The old pit at South Elmsall is a country park. Wakefield Council does not help as mentioned by Chris Vandeleur. I've lived in the area for over 30 years and it has got better and is getting better. My relatives in affluent areas of London are too frightened to go out of their doors at night. I know were I would rather be.
Jaywick is so notoriously bad that when my Dad's friend was on holiday in the south east, he took a special drive out to Jaywick to see if it was as bad as the reports say. It was.
@@russellwhite1581 I haven't been to Peckham in many decades but it seems that property prices are through the roof for flats and houses. Many formerly poor parts of London are the same way with property prices. Small terraced houses where I grew up go for several hundred thousand. Dingy old streets that still don't look good.
South Kirkby is pronounced "South Kirby"; South Elmsall is pronounced "South Emmsull"; Stoke-on-Trent is not in the West Midlands, but in Staffordshire!
You’re the second person claiming Staffordshire isn’t in the Midlands so far and you’re both spouting drivel! Staffordshire is in the West Midlands despite admittedly sounding Northern, watch Midlands today if you don’t believe me!
@@overlordnat if you look at a map of west midlands "county", the northern border is north of Wolverhampton, and Bloxhall. I have been to all these places and Stafford, Stoke, etc. etc, so I don't need the BBC to tell me what they simply imagine for their convenient short-cut deliberations. Staffordshire County is a highly confusing county because is circles round in the most ridiculous shape, thanks to government messing-about reforms (I think in the 70's). So, for someone who doesn't live in the area, it's easy, like the BBC, to imagine what area Stoke OUGHT to be in. Best advice is to go out and experience these places for yourself, get the feel of the area, and converse with local people.
I live in Cleethorpes (next to Grimsby) where Grimsby's East Marsh and West Marsh areas are populated by a deprived communities, My grandfather ran a bakery in these locations from the 1930s to the 1960s. In all that time I am told he sold bread a penny cheaper, "Because they cannot afford more." Even today, those areas lack amenities such that their residents must travel (at some cost) to reach bigger shops with fair prices. I have taken beer in pubs there (east marsh, west marsh has few) and the people are decent, lively and no different from me, apart from the few, that are being drowned in drugs, crime and deep despair. It is not for me to pass judgement but I feel for those that live there under that greater risk of harm. I have laughed with them, but then return to a safer area to sleep.
I'm from the south of England but I moved to Grimsby over 20 years ago, it is a deprived town (although it's meant to be undergoing a series of improvements!) and there are crime and drug problems here, but on the whole I love living here; it's unpretentious and the majority of the residents are kind, friendly and, although the wages are low, they are always ready to support local charites and people down on their luck - and Grimsby and Cleethorpes definitely have the best fish and chips in the country! 😁
It's grim up North! Or so they say... Although here in Cornwall there's more poverty, (believe it or not,) but at least it is a few degrees warmer all year round! 😎
@the knight family Our family stayed at the Cleethorpes Haven once about 13 years ago. It was alright tbf. Decent Chinese and Indian buffet near there.
Born and bred in Hartlepool, it has beautiful parks and affluent areas, although l no longer live there l always enjoy visiting, the people are the best in the country. Of course it has rough areas but so does any town with a population of this size.
Hartlepool born and bred too here, the town is lovely and the people are class. There's always a few bad areas in any town, but the people here are the best in the country
That's so funny, some of the pictures around Halton in the Runcorn area have million pound houses down the road. If that's a poor area I would stop tomorrow. What a joke lol
I lived in Hartcliffe, Bristol in the mid 1970s and I have to say that it was a more or less happy time of my life. l live in Seattle, USA now and there are far worse, and more dangerous places than Hartcliffe in some of Seattle's suburbs.
Same time as I lived there Anthony, I don’t think none or hardly none of us were deprived. Too busy playing up in the fields to worry about being poor.
The official deprivation list last year did indeed have Jaywick as #1 but it had several areas of both Liverpool and Blackpool and an area of Hull, or perhaps the whole of it, there too. Where is your source for this list? I don’t trust it.
I've lived in Blackpool myself and have done a lot of research about their poverty in particular and I'm very surprised that they weren't placed on the list
@@no1wasgeorgiebest Ive been there quite a lot, and the only area of Fleetwood that I'd say is particularly deprived is parts in and around the town centre. And even those didn't seem as deprived as the worst bits of Blackpool. The town overall is more deprived than Blackpool, yes, as its economy went down the toilet when the port closed while Blackpool is still very popular with tourists. But a lot of Fleetwood's suburbs, especially those near the coast, seemed ok to me.
The poorest areas are the expensive districts like London brighton etc when you are on low wages. If you live in a poor area where housing etc is cheaper then those low wages go further.
I’m from Stoke and Blurton is no where near the worst place. Bentilee was recently named the poorest area of the city however a number of years ago houses were sold for £1 in Hanley/Cobridge under a council scheme where you had to loan around £30k to do renovations.
Definitely wrong about Kingstanding, massive area stretching from Streetly and Great Barr at one end to Sutton Coldfield at the other. Yes there's some streets you couldn't pay me to go down but there's some really nice bits too. I've lived there for the past 13 years and never had any bother
I think the narrators view was because majority of people are renting than owning but I disagree that doesn't justify peoples purchasing power. Im a landlord in Kingstanding
I’m American. My family originally was probably middle class. Mom usually didn’t work. She did manage to work- but had only one job when my parents were still married. Everything did get more expensive. Dad wasn’t a machinist past 1988. My brother came into the world in January of 1989. We eventually were low class by around 1996. Everyone in my family: my brother and parents, I’m certain just had no choice but to watch as everything only got worse. It has no bearing which: party, job / career or even beliefs you’re raised with or maintain- Poorness, poor people culture and general 2nd rate statuses will always exist. Soldier on, mates. 🇺🇸🤍🇬🇧
Wow! Can anywhere be this poor in Great Britain? It needs to do more as nation to retain that greatness. My heart goes out to people living in those poorest areas.
@@midlandgeordie How many more decades will people be saying this? Most of these places were damaged by deindustrialisation in the 70's and 80's but they almost all have Labour councils and there were 13 continuous years of Labour rule to correct things. What happened? One of the reasons these areas are still deprived is because all people do is blame the Tories instead of taking responsibility. And for all this so called austerity, we have huge public debt and the highest taxes for 70 years.
Too many people live on welfare or low wages. It's no good for the wider economy because people don't have any disposable income. But there is no excuse for councils to be neglecting public amenities. They waste so much money.
I'm from Stoke-on-Trent and not all of the photos you showed for Blurton are actually in Blurton. Blurton is south Stoke-on-Trent, but most of what you showed is north Stoke-on-Trent. Even the old north Staffs hospital is in there. The Cottage pub is actually more central Stoke-on-Trent. Have you actually researched the area properly?
has he fuck duck ,I grew up in blurton and 30 seconds from the church there's houses that fetch 500k ,he's done no research as blurton high the school that I used to go hasn't looked like it did in the photo for about 15 years lol
I was going to mention the comments about Blurton but it looks like I was beaten to it. Maybe get some more up to date pictures to add to your channel when doing things like this instead of 20+ yr old photos or unaccurate locations which the narrator claims to be from where theyre describing. I grew up not far from blurton and lived around the Bucknall area. Local to where I spent my early years in the 80s. On Ruxley road a few houses up from what used to be the Masons Arms (now called the Iron Cot I think) Yes the places arent perfect. Perhaps a little run down in areas. But dispite it all its looks. Its what you make of it yourself. I remember people having each others backs/looking out for neighbours etc. The 'dodgy' ones were known to the community and watched. Statistics are certainly not the be all and end all to define an area. More actual experience being there and living it.
Corby, Parts of Sheffield that the cameras have guards and the workmen work behind reinforced fencing, parts of Rotherham like Canklow, East Dene and Eastwood.
This suffers from a complete lack of data. No definition of ‘areas’ so that some are whole boroughs, others neighbourhoods.No consistent criteria for inclusion in the list. Weird use of language. So, no l do not agree with you as you think everyone will.
Coming from England and travelling around it to work I’m surprised by this list I’ve been to places that seem a lot rougher and poorer than these. Weird
Dang that’s rough, how many places are shitty like this? Looks like a 3rd world country. I’ve seen videos and pretty much even the “nice” areas of the uk look the same. Just old and boring. Is that true? Personally speaking I’d definitely rather travel to Tokyo my first time international then South America but eh if I visit that side of the world probably France or Italy. I’m from Los Angeles, so my lifestyle and interests are probably extremely different from the people who live in the uk. What part of the uk do you suggest going to if I ever did? I’ve been looking but nothing from the uk interests me enough 🧐
@@user-vk2es9ws9j I’m from the midlands so the middle of England but tbh there’s not much to do here I wouldn’t holiday here . If you like hiking there’s the peak and Lake District otherwise I’d say London Manchester Liverpool or Birmingham but there’s not much here and there is some real shit holes in the uk. I’m from a nice part I live in a village so it’s quiet as it’s the country side but suppose it depends on what you enjoy in a holiday. There’s a lot of nice old buildings and stuff we have a good history so we do have stuff like that old castles 🏰 ect . I would imagine people come here mainly for old architecture and history reasons or for London fashion. I holiday in Europe my favourite destination is Holland Amsterdam I also had good time in Spain . If you from la it would probably be like going backwards coming here as you will have less stuff to do. I don’t know just depends what you like from holiday. France is nice too if your interested in France then you probably would like England tbf
@@paulplaysgames6740 You know what though? That actually sounds beautiful, I’m sure it’s gorgeous. Right now it’s 5:48 am on my side of earth 🌎 and me thinking about la traffic and work makes me want to go to England right this moment 🥲 lol. England sounds like such a peaceful get away. Thank you for all of the insight ☺️ & Spain sounds sooooo cultured I would love to go to Spain. You guys are so lucky you’re all close to each other though. It sucks for Americans because basically America is like one big island when it comes to close traveling all we have is Mexico, South America and Canada. How was Spain? I fell even more in love with Spain after watching Money Heist 😅
@@user-vk2es9ws9j Spain is awesome I loved it. It is peaceful here my village has a population of just over 800 people so it’s calm and the church is 600 years old in my village also we have a fresh water spring that is amazing best tasting water ever. And it’s true that Europe has advantages travel wise I went from Belgium to Holland to Germany and it was easy I know I can get a flight or ferry to Holland and get work straight away and I’ve done that a few times just gone and spent a few months and paid by working out there and I stopped in a hostel that cost 8£ per night . It sounds like you’d like it out here. Just costs a lot from where you are but yeah it’s peaceful in places. But I’m sure you have places that are like that in US too. It’s just in England that it’s that small you can travel across it in a day and we have national Forrest areas that are protected so we have lots of beautiful villages and nice countryside. Stone henge is kinda cool too. It’s the history here that’s the best part and it’s mostly protected so it’s like going back in time when you visit these areas as by law they can’t be touched or altered
In Halton you showed images of daresbury. Daresbury is an affluent area where house prices are amongst the most expensive in the Cheshire area. Also you showed the Halton castle pub which is not in Halton and is actually in Westhead Lancashire and is also now closed for good.
I'm a bit surprised that Hartcliffe is more deprived than its neighbour Knowle West. As a child 70 years ago, Hartcliffe seemed positively glamorous compared to my home in lisburn road, knowle west.
Willenhall and Wood End in the 90s were probably the most run down council estates I have seen. I used to live in the tower blocks in Hillfields... 2 days after I moved in I got notice that they were going to be demolished 18 months later. I live in Cornwall now and although it is poorer than Cov it is warmer and a lot more friendly. People here smile sometimes for no reason!
Great Yarmouth: “…and the reason for this poverty is the racism…[what the actual…] ….it is so poor that they have even had to open a food bank.’ Your script has either been written by a 16 year old with no life experience, or someone who lives outside the UK. Mate, most towns and every city in the UK has a food bank, since 2010, so they aren’t a measure of how poor a town is: food banks are a result of 12 years of austerity, dwindling council funds and a Government who has turned its back on the poor. So once you’re old enough to come over to the UK, go and visit these beautiful places and meet the lovely people, ye judgy bugger!
I mean racism exists everywhere but I never experienced direct racism whilst visiting Great Yarmouth, the only thing that was racist was the selling of golliwog souvenirs and scarecrow's....
I live in Oxford, most expensive place to live outside of London We got food banks everywhere, massive cost of living taxes etc but no higher living wage
I was in a hotel on the front that charged £22 a night. Tea stain sheets I hope wall stain, carpet was 30 years old, but there was TV and cable and alot of free coffee.
Although these are ranked as the 10 poorest areas, the images you showed weren't too bad. Some were attractive and there were no images of really bad run down slums. It just appears that incomes are so low and other indicators of poverty and deprivation exist that affect standards of living, health welfare and enjoyment of life. I don't know if you selected the best images of areas or whether these were typical but I've seen far worse. Some of these areas would undoubtedly have qualified for EU regeneration funds if we'd stayed in the EU.
"Some of these areas would undoubtedly have qualified for EU regeneration funds if we'd stayed in the EU." - With the money we gave the EU in the past 40 years....
@@russellwhite1581 Yep but the money bought benefits such as free and flowing trade and travel, membership of all sorts of useful organisations and projects and security systems, as well as funds for poorer areas.

@@heliotropezzz333 What a load of tosh. The globalist shills were only interested in telling the UK what we could and couldn't do. Trying to boss around a nation that once owned 23% of the Earth's entire land mass. Germany learned. They learned they couldn't control Europe via force, but could very much control it's countries in a political, bureaucratic way. I don't trust charlatans like Von Der Leyen and Tusk. I believe the only two purposes of the forming of this union was to A) suit the needs of four countries and only four countries and B) to control and dictate what happens in all the other member nations. What has the EU ever done to help Ukraine? The way they treated Greece was abhorrent. The British isles is an island. Island mentality for an island then. An Island built on populism not globalism. I'm glad UK tax payers money no longer goes to the EU. We were far far too soft as nation throughout our time in the EU. And the UK having a strong influence on the EU 😂 Every single EU politician is either French, German or Belgian. And none of them were ever elected by the people. People like Macron and Merkel see the white working classes as scum and third class citizens.
Why did you include footage of Plymouth in the opening sequences, without including anywhere in the Southwest - we have a real problem with second homes, no affordable rentals, and rising property prices
I honestly thought areas of where I live were going to appear, but I realised there has been huge investments into my city in recent years with huge brands opening up dealerships, stores and production studios, etc.
same here, i wish the people that lived near my area would actually try make their homes look pleasant because the streets are trashed and there’s always something going on.
Have a look into Cambois in Northumberland. It's pronounced 'Cammus'. It's got nothing, really, nothing. I don't know how people survive there. It has a small neighbour in North Blyth which fares no better.
I am honestly very surprised that none of the suburbs of Hastings made it onto the list. There are massive rates of poverty, with swathes of council houses, where drugs and gang violence run rife.
@@masonclark9110 It's time the government legalised drugs and licensed and regulated them to make some cash which could then be used to alleviate poverty. Most of the tobacco and alcohol duties go to the Exchequer for general expenditure as does most road vehicle tax. In the end legalisation will come to pass because the temptation of the vast amounts of tax revenue that could be made out of drugs will ultimately prove irresistible for most governments.
There are more deprived areas in Wakefield than Kirkby and Elmsall. Parts of Hemsworth were so bad the council just knocked the houses down. It is indeed grim up north.
6:49 I took a holiday in Great Yarmouth in 2019 as my last visit was way back in 1993, I didn't have the best experience there in 2019, however being mixed raced myself, I didn't occur any racism whilst I was there or at least direct racism anyway. Maybe I was lucky in that regard but other stuff I won't go into did happen which kind of explains why it's on this list.
I don't know why they are saying that racism is a problem in Great Yarmouth. It's poorly researched. GY suffers from social dumping like lots of cheap property seaside towns in England.
Theres also an issue with a number of a years ago, a flat-out fight was started. For one week, 1000 travelers held up in the area. During this time, a large number of unregulars hit the area and were a law onto themselves, driving off a lot of holiday people.This happened in 2019 and wasn't the first time it had happened. In 2020 there were fears of it happening again with 1500, don't know what happened as I didn't look it up. The town, doesn't have room for that many visitors and the Travellers started a riot in 2019 as it were. This has been going on since at least 1999, and said has caused so much conflict. The result is, if anyone messes with the travellers a lot of places get smashed up. This impacts G.Yarmouth in the long run and has been an issue that has caused the town to spiral downhill since the 90s. The worst bit is, it gives people true fear of travelers and results in people not wanting them. There are good and bad representatives of their group, but this doesn't help. I came from Southend and pretty much every time they broke into somewhere, you can be certain crime went up for the next month they were up and they stole lots of things. This is why they have the reputation to begin with and its now hard to seperate fact from fiction and the good and bad. Often theres stories to tell about these towns no one wants to say. Edit: I remember going there once a year for a day it was decent enough in the 80s and early 90s, it just went downhill after that period.
@@AngelEmfrbl That is interesting to know, I knew it was going downhill but I didn't realise things were that bad. Dispite not having the best experience in 2019, it was still fun to visit my old childhood holiday. I'm just glad I didn't witness any of these fights during my week there.
🙋🏾♂️ I'm a Black Brit & I have some of my foundist childhood memories in Great Yarmouth. So much so, I made sure all of my Children's first Holiday was there, as mine was. Still love it...
The photos of these areas seem to belie their reputation. Delighted to see that Peterborough is not listed despite unjustifiably "winning the accolade" of the UK's worst city.
A lot of these areas remind me of Melbourne suburbs, undereducated, no standards, isolation, no trust, lots of poverty in most suburbs, polarisation and discrimination, crime everywhere in most suburbs even among white collar and despite the cost of property prices, one can easily pay a million for a dump of house in (shi tey)/ suburbs, most housing in suburbs run down, damaged insurance won’t cover or replace as most ppl living in these shi tey suburbs end up working in the offices. Melbourne just looks old, rugged, damaged and rundown poor. There’s graffiti everywhere, standards very low. There’s hardly any understanding of regeneration.
You've made what some people may think is an informative video, unfortunately due to scattering in your own opinion throughout, this has no credibility whatsoever.
they might be poor compared to other EU nations but compared to third and second world countries these places are paradise, there is a reason why immigrants would risk their lives crossing seas and deserts just to have a chance of living somewhere like this
"paradise" lmao ... At least in third and second world countries they can hunt for food and keep warm by having open fires in there houses they are not locked into a system that will not allow people to fend for themselves whereas poor people in the UK either pay extortionate rates in hard currency for food & heating or go cold and or hungry..trust me as someone from Rotherham it is far from paradise if you can't pay
There is no such thing as a second world country, not in the sense you're using it anyway. The term "The Third world" was coined during the Cold War. It relates to the geopolitical landscape at the time. The first two worlds referred to those countries allied to either NATO or to the Warsw Pact. Those countries who had no allegiance to either were referred to as the "Third" world. It included many affluent and industrialised nations. The term was hijacked in the early seventies to mean poor countries. This was because a lot of these non aligned countries were from Africa. This was down to the misconception that the phrase referred to the world's poorest one third of it's population.
I am from County Durham, and the county itself is absolutely beautiful when it comes to its nature and geography, but jesus christ, some of the small towns are like taking a step back in time
Couldn’t agree more I’m from DH6 but the only thing that’s worse is the southern Durham uni students thinking they run the place having student only Fridays in klute spending mammy and daddy’s money before having afters drowning in the river 🙃
Watching this Inam surprised how tidy and pretty most of the places looked. From NZ but have had toured extensively over 5 trips. Thankfully I didn’t see any of these towns. Shame but deprivation is worldwide
From experience the poorest place in England is Hull. Drug abuse and alcohol abuse is a chosen activity not forced on the people by economic issues ( even rich people can abuse alcohol and drugs). Hull's problem is that it is run by organised crime. Organised crime runs criminal acuities like drug dealing, begging, car theft ( motorcycle theft (very Bad). smashing windows of shops which don't pay protection money.Lots of other things as well. Even the police force is supposed to be involved in the theft of expensive cars and don't protect witnesses . Corruption is wide spread. Hull gets extra money but, most of it ends up in the hands or in the bank accounts of organised crime. Hull has gone from cod heads to smack heads over the last few years. In-breeding is a serious issue and Hull is used by scientists to study the negative effects on a community by inbreeding. The people in Hull have a reputation for being lazy and work shy. Hull workers have a problem turning up for work under the effects of Narcotics. Most nation companies won't employ Hull workers for these reasons. A lot of companies in Hull want to leave . Most council run projects go pear-shaped and needed to be sorted out at great expense. If you employ people from Hull the risk of insider jobs will increase. A lot of people, who can, will go to York, Leeds and Manchester to buy things. A lot of people are complaining the the council are trying to impose a congestion charge. The Government said no to this and the council has been using roadworks, cycle lanes and slow traffic light changes to create congestion. congestion charges will drive more business away from Hull and more shops and business will close. Plague like shop lifting is the main cause of shop closures in Hull. There are a lot of good people in Hull. Hull's problems are self inflicted and not brought on by economic factors. Hull a North East town keeps on being either missed out or forgotten about? Organised crime won't like the above.
Hull isn’t on the list because statically few provincial cities have such a high disparity between high & low earners. Many parts of Hull are extremely prosperous and in complete contrast to the areas of deprivation in the city.
The poorest areas tend to be those places which were home to a key industry where many of the population was employed, and that industry has since gone but people can't/won't be retrained. Examples are former coal mining towns, places where the steel industry was located, and former tourist hotspots which have become run down because holidaymakers are now able to take a cheap flight to somewhere with less crap weather.
The whole of Stoke on Trent is a dump 👎🏻 No Coventry on this list ?? Parts of Leeds are dire also ! And Hull ain’t all that ❗️Nothing in London ? I beg to differ , Tower Hamlets 🤮
I only came here to see if my city was mentioned and 1st on the list isn’t just my city but blurton is where I’m from in Stoke 😂 love it! You’ve really done some research my friend!😂
He hasn't done any research or due diligence because the cottage pub is not in Blurton!?. and why he's taken a photo of a listed building within the grounds of stoke Royal hospital is anyones guess, because it's nowhere near Blurton.If anything it's a few hundred yards from being in Newcastle under lyme!! ...clueless!!

I used to live in South Elmsall / South Kirkby and it is literally the worst place to live. The whole town is riddled with drugs/alcoholics. Do not recommend ever visiting.
Teesside is without a doubt home to the most down to earth people you could possibly find. It is undoubtedly the funniest place in the U.K aswell, (I’d say joint with scousers) and of course home to the PARMO. UTB. I would choose living in Teesside anyway, than some posh, snobby southern town, full of totally boring people.
Fully agree mate, I'm from Hartlepool and love it. I've lived in Oxfordshire, Spain and Australia too. I'm well travelled, met a lot of people from all over the world and the monkey hangers are up there with the best.
9:10 - I'm just in the mood to live or be in this settlement and enjoy the calmness and total absence of any kind of presumptuousness, decoration, advertisement/logos/messages, and rubbish lying around.

As a proud Lancastrian (the proper County Palatine and not the botched up post ' 73 local gov affair) I am sorry to say that Barrow is a dump, so is alot of East Lancashire, parts of Manchester and L'pool. Skem is pretty crap and as for Kirkby , needs twinning with Beirut. The area where I was born and brought up In Preston still has rows of now manky looking and neglectes 19thC terraced houses and some grim Council estates (nobody in ther right mind would choose to buy). Levelling up has become a complete joke.......requires infinitely more than promises and rhetoric.
Im really surprised Northumberland isnt in this list, Ashington and Blyth as well as Berwick have been dying for years. They seem to get worse with every year.
