WORST PLACE to live in UK 2022 | Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. 

In this video we tried to answer a question 'Is this town the worst in the UK'. Such a question appears regularly in media space, but there is no simple answer on it.

I am from Aylesbury and currently live in Southampton, another place unreasonably derided. I have lived all over the country and visited every major city and hundreds of towns and villages. There are places I loved and places I have counted down the minutes to leave. Aylesbury is far from the worst place, the trouble is, as you stated, most people who moan about Aylesbury have barely travelled out, and as the crime rate suggests, it it the people that are the problem, not the town.

Fantastic trip , this town look nice . Happy weekend

Loving the fact that my poll answer was featured 🤣

I live in Aylesbury you know! I love the fact that nearly all the photos & videos are of Aylesbury.

I live in Aylesbury and this video does not accurately reflect the traffic load on the roads which in reality is horrendous. Personally I believe it's this issue that is causing many residences to vote in this poll. The council see fit to rapidly expand the housing in the town (an extra 11.5 thousand extra homes by 2030) in their Local Plan without providing convincing solutions to the already overstretched infrastructure.

I’m a local, sure it’s got some flaws but it is definitely not the worst place

I think the traffic is the problem. Your journey will always be slower if you choose to go through Aylesbury than if you choose to go a longer route that avoids it

I'm from Aylesbury an it's a very memorable place and it barley has traffic most people who hate don't go outside or barely travel and randomly voted

Crime in aylesbury is everwhere. Trust me as some one born and breed in aylesbury.( who left ) In the last 45 yrs it has gone down hill big time. Its only real postive is its location to london for work. And like luton etc it is completly over run with immigrants who have taken it over. All the quality shops are gone . The shopping centres are full of white washed windows. Most of the pubs are gone. Civic centre. Gala bingo. Etc etc. To be replaced with low quality asian . Vape shops. Booze shops. Takeaways. Cash converter shops. Bookies. Poundlands. Asian Phoneshops. You get the picture. Rampant drug use is visable everywhere ( upper hundreds carpark has bags of unused needles and drugs just left on the stairs@!@ )and hampden underground carpark has burnt out lifts@!@ think south bronx in the 80s , no joke!! Tons of CHT's ( council house tennants )everywhere in the daytime. The town centre has fuck all to offer. Even the tourist office closed down yrs ago. The parts of Aylesbury that flourish are gatehouse industrial area & rabans lane industrial areas. Basically areas where workers populate. As a tourist avoid aylesbury. Go to haddenham, wendover, Buckingham, instead

Waddesdon Manor is well worth a visit, good video.

You have to realise that the poll comes from a nearby town called High Wycombe that Aylesbury competes with.

1 hour drive to get into London and being surrounded by countryside? I love Aylesbury!!

Slough, luton, Aylesbury, High Wycombe are " Birds of a feather ".

I m from Aylesbury...I love 💕 Aylesbury

The basic thing is that somebody has to come at the end. People can be very wild and random in condemning something. Social media is very brutal world

I guess anyone who voted Aylesbury as the worst place to live in the UK has never visited Dartford!

I agree , if you want to know the worst place go to Leighton buzzard. Pikey’s paradise. Tescos , So funny to watch them.

I think Aylesbury is a good place to live because the people places safety on the road are very good in the area everyone I've spoken to say the drug and crime has been very low and even drug dealers are very worried about drug dealing in Aylesbury every dealer that steps foot in Aylesbury get nicked no one want to even consider coming to Aylesbury so if that's not getting a result I will add the transportation is so much often buses and trains are very often and the places are very interesting to visit ..I love the canals route what a site I say no Aylesbury is no by far the worst place and just one train to London Marylebone 👍💯💯❤❤

Used to be great Now twinned with Bucarest I seems But could be worse .. could be Luton

And WHAT HANG ON HAVE YOI SEEN THE MASSIVE astro TURF open to the public WHERE ELSE DO YOU KNOW WITH THAT ITS BRILLIANT

Aylesbury has wonderful surrounding countryside and one of best Grammar Schools in country. the town centre has lost a lot of history with redevelopment. Like many SE towns it is now an urban sprawl of housing estates and retail parks. There is a park in town centre, swimming pool, theatre, cinema many new restaurants. Nonsense poll. PS work on pronunciation of Waddesdon and Rothschild,,

I live near Aylesbury and I will not go there at night 😢

Hello dear all, ** Please read if you consider to live in Aylesbury! ** I am not from Aylesbury and not even an English born, I am British why I am saying this I have nothing to prove to this place or residents, I think voting Aylesbury as worse place in the UK absolutely irrational, unrealistic as well as disturbing. Let me explain why… *Aylesbury is an old little town and since 2012 (please correct me if I am wrong on this date) town and council has excessive housing developments projects all around of the town. *This is also because Aylesbury has very convenient location, which called commuter belt, little town has 3 train lines that put you heart of London within 40-50mins these are ; Aylesbury town, Aylesbury Vale, Stoke Mandeville. *Lately Aylesbury become preferable location for first time buyers and Londoners, due to affordability and convenience of the house conditions. Many first time buyers are not available to but a “project house” (old house to refurbish) as project houses needs good amount of cash on top of mortgage deposit and this is not very a common case for first time buyers. For Londoners it’s convenient on location and commuting. * Aylesbury’s official crime rate reported as 80/1000 Checked some well known towns/cities official crime rates: Oxford 81/1000 Cambridge 84/1000 Windsor 81/1000 And some worse rated/knows areas: Slough 100/1000 Peterborough 89/1000 West Yorkshire 114/1000 Which clearly doesn’t makes Aylesbury worse place to live. * I think this rating comes with either new comers to the town or town’s old residents, *if you are a new comer from London to Aylesbury and expecting to find Mayfair / Soho in Aylesbury this is not going to happen. This expectation never ever lead you anywhere in the UK and you will be unrealistic about your expectations. Anywhere out of of London is pretty much countryside or town like places in the entire UK. * New comers can also complain about traffic, this is understandable due to city expanded significantly and got many new residence since covid started! This inevitably brings traffic jam highly likely town wasn’t really ready to handle influx of new residents+drivers *Housing market in Aylesbury super dynamic, there are houses sold within hours in certain locations! Based on my conversations South court, Walton court, Manor park areas are not very recommended, Stoke Mandeville Hospital areas, Bedgrove , Broughton areas in South Aylesbury, Berryfields in North Aylesbury are listed as sought after locations. You can find tidy, clean and affordable houses. Houses are gaining good market value as well. * For old Residents it can be overwhelming as town is welcoming many new faces and families within short period this is not a surprise as so many housing projects still in process and council committed to complete Aylesbury Garden City project, there are many more enhancements planned for this little town. All this developments and enhancements can be hard to digest for people whom choose the town for it’s village characteristics and this might lead complaints. To be honest any newly build towns has this objections from their residents check out Milton Keynes. *I also checked comments entered to this “unofficial survey” people are truly judging other people by their looks very offensive way… I detest to read such brutal comments about other people’s features. I hope people with such hateful thoughts are only driving by and not living in Aylesbury. *Stoke Mandeville Hospital is well established Global Hospital for spinal injuries. “Stoke Mandeville Hospital and the National Spinal Injuries Centre (NSIC) are renowned worldwide for the successful treatment of spinal injuries and as the birthplace of the Paralympic movement“ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31808464/ *Town has great village locations, Wendover, Aston Clinton, Waddesdon, Tring, and you are only step away from countryside. Conclusion: More I think more I realise that this rating is very unfair to a developing town, let it grow and glow. I will be happy if you reply with your thoughts. Thank you x
