St Helens 

It's getting there more and more business are leaving or shutting shop

Same here mate. Good old St Helens

Hi I recorded this just after the covid lock down. You are correct it was like like a ghost town it was a strange experience filming it being so quiet in the middle of a wednesday afternoon. I went to St Helens college for a time as well. It's amason how different the college is these days as well nothing at all like it was.

@StarMan Nothing like it was in St Helens. This was recorded just before lock down ended

I seriously hope that they improve this town going forward, and yes, I know what you're talking about. Currently, St Helens is definitely a shadow of its former self which is a great shame.

Hi yes I filmed it in 2021 the town is struggling especially with this covid as you can see most places have closed down or businesses have moved away it resembles a ghost town.

It's a great shame to see the town in such a state since this video has only gotten worse, unfortunately.

@exploringwithjb Generations of corrupt local government killed it.

@@albin2232 That is so true, unfortunately

The town is bouncing back now thankfully.

I actually agree with you mostly. Recently the town has become empty it's nothing like I remember it. We had a large open air market and booming business in the town now there's nothing really and yes rent is skyrocketing that's probably why we are seeing business moving away from the town and the more I look around St Helens the more I agree with what the locals say about the council here.

I'm a farther of two and I always try to do my best for my girls. As with anywhere you go you will always find people male or female that may not be a great person sex really makes no difference. As for the towns economic state I will agree that it's not good and it's not been for a long time' it's a great shame to see the town go in the direction it's going.
