Lived in York for 29 years. All of the ‘bad’ areas listed are still better than many cities ‘good’ areas.

I was at university in York in the 90's and loved the place. Lived off Huntington Road for a couple of years - almost every week a house was broken into, but thankfully we were not affected. In my final year we lived off Haxby Road, (Scaife Street) in a small, three story terrace, which had not been decorated or had much work since the 70s. We were the first tenants not to have a break in in over 10 years! There were areas and pubs the university told us to avoid at all costs. Walking along Eldon Terrace was known as 'running the gauntlet'. We had a charity sports social one evening where women's teams dressed as men and we dressed in drag. I was chased along Eldon Terrace in a mini skirt and heels. I laughed about it when I got to the bar, but later heard that a couple of lads were seriously beaten up by a group of youths on the road.

those kind of tower blocks in Clifton are always a cue to do a u-turn. They've been a disaster everywhere.

Me personally tang hall should be on here

Amazing vid.Thanks for the info

Thanks for the tips. Appreciated the map view of where these areas are in relation to the centre of the city.

You should see Ely estate in Cardiff. There was just a riot around that area a few weeks ago

Love this channel

Yay you got over 200 subs you'll hit 1000 in no time!

cracking video this.

I have walked past those 3 blocks of council flats in Clifton North loads of times, and I had no idea that was a ‘bad’ area, they are at the end of a really lovely tree lined road of really nice big houses, There is a reason houses around there cost 350k, because its not really that bad. To be honest none of the ‘bad’ areas in York are bad compared to London where I come from, a few tracksuits and that’s about it

I live in Chapelfields it really isn't as bad as it's made out to he. Crime activity has been calm now for a few years and I've lived here for all my life I'm 25. Sure it has it's rough moments but it's not often and its usually calm.

Blackpool has a really disturbing back street area I couldn't believe how scary it was

Love the eco-friendly housing! :D

You should have visited Tang Hall if you wanted a rough area of York! Or Bell Farm off Huntington Road. Chapelfields is Shangri-la by comparison.

I live in Foxwood and what you've shown in this video isn't Foxwood. I work in the MOJ and court and it is incredibly quiet. There are some kids about but nothing that serious. I've lived in Dewsbury and this is ridiculous and reactionary.

Hello again , Leeds , Seacroft and Gipton are worth a check ! , Be Well my Friend.

So often we can focus our concentration with the criminals and neglect the victims. During my many years visiting York I have seen declining health physical and mental of some particular residence of Sirocco Court off Montrose Avenue. These same residents have little Hope of escape as its almost impossible to move, again lack of empathy and listening from York city council. ( BEFORE I START THIS IS IN NO WAY ABOUT THE PEACEFUL HASHES SMOKER, GOD BE WITH YOU AND PEACE BE WITH YOU ) Particularly over the past year, inside this year 2023 some residence have had to put up with threats ie..fear of walking out to communal entrance to go about their day, hanging out window threats to residence and near neighbours, fighting shouting drunken and heavy drug extreme violent behaviour, Heroin addicts and prostitutes all coming into flats at all hours even have the drunks and druggys in middle of the moring in the dead of night climbing up the walls using people's bedroom windows to help the climb into the druggy flat, constant slamming of doors, the sleep deprivation is a big concern the depression that these good people have to suffer and the isolation and sheer fear it causes I'm worried it will tip somebody over the edge. It doest stop there, they have to live with all this in very cramped damp conditions the floors beneath them caving into the earth underneath which was build over a fever hospital over very soft damp earth still infectious to this day, the whole block slowly sinking and falling apart inside, its dickensian conditions in 2023 is the reality. If theirs any council official and police reading PLEASE PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE THESE PEOPLE TIP SOMEBODY OVER THE EDGE. You don't need to dig deep just visit ask the residence of Sirocco Court before its too late. Indeed some of these cowards will know who I am and that's great I will help fight your corner, again if theirs any council official with any ounce of empathy or police please contact me. On a last note, if you was police or council and you are good enough to visit please don't think because you don't see anything all is great for one its winter its mainly indoors , your see different in better weather its all over the block inside and out giving little peace to the good. Plus these degenerates do know what a police car looks like outside.

should do this for south yorkshire

My experience of living In high rise flats was temperamental communal lifts and the occasional loud music from neighbors having bloc parties late at night that’s the crux of living in accommodation like that so it’s very common .

Yay

Please do a video on Leeds. thanks

you woudnt think they would have dodgy areas in York but yet again no area is 100% safe but these dodgy areas are probley still not has bad has somewhere like Bradford and Wakefield Hartlepool or Pontefract and Bransholme in Hull i would imagen

Is that Foxwood ? . I assumed that you meant the newer estate , Bellhouse way etc .

Compared to other cities in the UK, York has absolutely no problems. It hasn't. It's really safe. I've worked in Doncaster, Hull, London and pit villages. Saying York is rough is like saying riding in a roller is bumpy and uncomortable. York is very safe. Thats why its so expensive to live there. Theres no excess housing to put people in, all social housing is full with working people. I grew up in Foxwood when it was apparently a lot worse than it was today. The area you showed as Foxwood was different area. York is a mint and very safe to live.

I love York.

york seems at last fine as english city what was it nicely beautyfull in the beginning from this footage, but except some area,s now once i see a city not yet have in england luckily enough to falling into total decay.

I live in chappy

Not really Foxwood you're showing there - that's more the very south end of Acomb

Visited York, castleford and pontefract looking for anti social crime hotspots and didn’t even go to Selby?!? Rookie mistake!!

Heworth and tang hall are by far the shitist areas of york, you definitely need to revisit york and check those areas out.

This is really helpful, thank you 😊

The areas you showed as foxwood aren't really representative of the area as a whole the estate off foxwood lane is better with parks and more shopping.

We consider chapelfields and foxwood as the same place tbh

Been to York. Thank God I didn't see these bits!

Aggressive youths grow up then move away so I wouldn’t let that put me off. In fact where I moved to years ago when I walked down this alleyway and kids were setting fire to garages they would regularly shout abuse as I walked past and I would say it’s lucky for you you’re under 16 so I can’t knock you into the middle of next week. They have all moved away and it’s reasonably quiet now. The garages are still a mess though.

😅 he wouldn't go to chappy shops in case the kids robbed him ffs 🙄 😅😅

Those darn "aggressive youths"...

I lived In chappy for 19 years, I agree not a great area. First time I went to foxwood I had a knife pulled out on me (that was fun)

The “disturbance” in Clifton was me at 13 lol imagine

You should of seen Clifton in. The 1990s it’s nothing like it we’re

Try Leicester

You missed bell farm

What was so great about that Constantine guy?

I was brought up on chapelfields road mum still lives there . I’m telling you it’s no way as bad as your making out . Of course you get kids hanging around shops etc and petty crime . But that’s about it Same as the other areas you mentioned I know them all . There all safe anytime day or night. In fact York is one of the safest city’s in the U.K You’ve put a great city unfairly in a bad light.

i think you got it wrong m8 clifton aint the worst and that ally aint never hurt no 1 lol

P r o m o S M 😆

Third world UK

Crime sats are misleading. It is very often one or two individuals causing the problems, and drug crime very often involves people from outside said areas. I'm not quite sure what the point of your videos are as you never interact with people. Please contrast videos with better off areas too.

This channel is so pointless it’s just has people at each other for no reason

I dont feel this is helpful to the hardworking home owners, i live in chaplefield infact you passed my house!! The youths have no where to go in the area, the council more bothered about covering green areas with housing with no entertainment or youth clubs like our generation would go to. You paint it poorly with Crime when Tanghall, bell farm areas cliser to the city that are higher with crime if you actually did your homework. All this does is lower our house value 😡
