The Worst Place to Live in England..

[Give it to Jabo]

People just love to categorise things. How can it be Aylesbury? Ridiculous. Do we have an AylesburyO? I think we do.

Aylesbury Os here. Aylesbury was voted no 1 principally I believe because a Facebook group was stirring it up & encouraging lots of younger people to vote. The only bad thing is the traffic though no doubt simiar to other towns with growing populations. The BUcks CC buiding is bit of an eye sore but we have a decent theatre, canal, market though the night life is not great but we have Thai, Turkish, Italian restaureants, 2 Spoons & a few independent pubs. Locally Wycombe, Slough, Luton are far worse

I was born in E10 & Aylesbury is far nicer

Next door to Disoriented ? That should get another of the big shots back .

[ComeOnYouOs]

The worst place I have ever been to, by a country mile is Dewsbury, in West Yorkshire.
A real sh1t hole

[Orient Punxx]

Surely Stevenage and Luton should be perennially fighting this out.

Had to work in Aylesbury for a while self-employed, and I must say didn't strike me as awful at all: quite pleasant in fact bar the traffic, but many many places are afflicted in the same way.

This seems an odd winner.

Shouts for Luton and Dewsbury seem relevant, and I've always thought (away from the centre anyway) Peterborough to be a total dump.

Lots of locals on social media disagreeing with being no 1 stating it is far nice than outer London places such as Hayes, Slough, Wycombe where they have moved to Aylesbury from. The poll was not scientific and it was a Facebook groupe ncouraging people to votethat had Aylesbury as no 1

Do not know Aylesbury at all, but knew it could not be the very worst place to bed down in England. Not when it has a Board Member.

[Highwood Man]

My vote would go to Middlesbrough by a long way. Truly grim.

[Stan1972]

Stoke, after we dump them out the FA Cup on Sunday

[mildandbitter]

Barking, end of.

[Orient Punxx]

Swindon, should always get a shout. Man City’s second goal sums up the place!

[Stowaway]

There are loads of worse places in England. Middlesbrough, Redcar, Boston, Peterborough, Croydon all just off the top of my head.

Yarmouth ain’t great, either.

[Jack]

Yarmouth ain’t great, either.

Do you mean Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, or do you mean Great Yarmouth in Norfolk?

[EastDerehamO]

Have stopped off in Aylesbury a few times for a meal in a pub on the way back from somewhere, based on that limited experience we like it!

As to the Yarmouth suggestion above, if Norfolk, it’s a pretty depressed area for sure. But in the summer months it’s great for kids as a holiday resort as plenty to do, used to come up from Loughton as a kid to Norfolk to visit my grandparents who had retired up here, and Yarmouth was always a highlight – talking 1960s mind - but still have a soft spot for it, we visited for a impressive Fire on Water display in November put on there, and usually get to the racecourse once or twice a year, at least outside pandemics.

[Simple Man]

Holidays in Yarmouth.. totally forgot about the racecourse. Great day out.

I thought it was Jaywick in Clacton?

9/10ths of Jaywick is just like any other sea side town. A small area got a lot of attention .

Lowestoft by comparison is absolute ‘pants’.

Went to Southampton that was a hole
