Then, Hull was named the nation's worst town with one voter describing it as a "sad story of unemployment, teenage pregnancy, heroin addiction, crime, violence, and rampant self-neglect".
This year, Hull dropped down to 19th.


:lol: The top 18 must be really bad then!

Lol, and Hackney isn't on there? Just a few weeks ago a footballer's son got shot in the face and he didn't even do anything, wasn't related with gangs or drugs just a random shooting. Nottingham 8, lol! Nottingham isn't even bad or worth 8th place, it's probably a good place to live.

These things are pure bull. I remember a few years ago, Middlesbrough got named the worst place to live and somehow Hackney and parts of Manchester were missed. 8-)

biased.

That article is four years ago, with poverty and everything Hackney is becoming more violent because gangs are willing to mug people to earn money.

I agree. There are so many worse places to live down south but of course they're not going to get mentioned. They don't want the South looked down upon do they?

Let me tell you, I have lived here all my life and it's not as bad as everyone says it is. First hand experience, can't beat that. Doesn't deserve to be on these top 10 worst lists or whatever.

You probably don't go outside much if you don't know how bad it is then.

I always thought Luton was just an airport. What's so bad about it? The list looks like it's based on poverty and crime.

Oh shutup. It's not as if you go outside and you're approached by 500 different people within an instance. It's not that bad.
