Least favourite Cities in the UK

[SCG]

Easy one this, Doncaster.
Most Donny people are alright. And there’s some great pubs.
But the centre is crawling with Spice heads, tracksuited youths and petty criminals.
There’s a lad on the station wants to you go to the cash point and give him something. Despite being told 100,000 times not to he still does it. It’s like Romania.

Liverpool

London

 

[afcb_acklam]

Swindons not great

 

[exeterboro]

Coventry
Peterborough
Sandwell ( not a city but a metropolitan borough)

Sorry to posters who live in these places and may have seen another side of them but I feel they are grim with no appealing feature.

LONDON

London is the obvious one but Birmingham used to be pretty bad. Not sure what it's like now.

I never really slag off UK cities. I’m from Teesside, and I don’t generally like it when people slag off Stockton and Middlesbrough. Objectively speaking they are no better than anywhere else.

London - mostly for how busy and traffic
Birmingham - just grim
Aberdeen - Also grim

Hull.

There's a club in Hull called Spiders and if you know, you know.

I work away most weeks. So I've become pretty well traveled around the UK.

I have to say the worst place I've worked was Luton. That's hands down. No place came close

How right you are,thank you for reminding me.

Can I add Billingham to that list even though it's only a town.

Not cities but Peterhead and Worksop are grim

After 14 years of austerity Tory governments have really impacted lots of towns and cities.

As mentioned on this thread, I don’t like calling places bad. Most population centres have good and bad. I work in Aberdeen loads, and certain parts of the city are quite rough. Other parts are brilliant. It’s also quite cosmopolitan, but also has clear issues with substance abuse in the less desirable areas.

That could be said for lots of places in the UK.

Grangemouth & Falkirk

 

[SmallTown]

Lond.... No, that is ridiculous!

I would say that I worked for a bit in Doncaster and I kind of agree with the OP. It kind of has nothing. Seemed really grim

Leeds

40+ years of slash and burn = scorched earth.
Biggest homelessness crisis since the Second World War.
"Right To Buy", destroyed essential provision of social-housing at affordable rents.
Cherry-picked NHS core Services privatised.
Other services struggling to cope, with deliberate under-investment and unfilled NHS vacancies due to withdrawal of Government support for professional training and restrictions imposed on foreign professionals and other workers since Brexit.
Funds from the public purse being placed in the pockets of private shareholders instead of public health.
Massive reduction in hospital beds, especially in Mental Health Services.
Deliberate decimation of Local Authority Budgets by Central Government, leading to cuts in day-centres, community support, adult and child services.
Complete wipe out of community support and rehabilitation services for offenders, including Chris Graylings disastrous attempt to privatise the Probation Service.
Government disinvestment in public transport infrastructure, leaving many urban centres with inadequate, archaic rail and bus services.
Private shareholder pockets lined with public funds for our privatised rail and "Public" [!] Transport "system".
Cuts in the Police and Community Support Services.

Now we see the consequences in all our towns and cities across the entire UK.

Hull.

It’s certainly a web of intrigue
I’m surprised Brian Marwood hasn’t been on telling us that it’s the Stringfellows of the North
