As a young couple in the mid 80’s we sold our 2 bed flat in south London and bought a 3 bed house in Stevenage for the same price. Our children were born there and went to very good schools, we had good jobs, neighbours, friends.. loved it and was very happy but always knew it was not a place to grow old... 25 years later we moved to Dorset. I wouldn’t want to live there as a young family today it has changed for the worse

I feel people who criticise their towns are more likely critising their own lives. If you hsve friends and hobbies you tend to take from a town what it has to offer, rather than worry about what it doesn't have.

Every town now seems overcrowded and the infrastructure and services can’t cope with the influx in population. I left because of the property prices and moved to Derbyshire.

I grew up in Dover, and I did not hate it at all. This was in the 1960s though, and I am a lover of history (although I hated history as it was taught in school and dropped it as soon as I could). I really loved the history of the place. I loved the cliffs. I loved the beach, swimming and sailing. I was lucky in that I lived in a nice road, beneath the castle and a large park and beyond that, the countryside. I loved the proximity to France, and the proximity to London.

We had a neighbour who worked as a security guard at the Arndale Centre & he told us tales of how risky it was there at night. During the late 1960’s I worked in Stevenage. The Old Town was a pleasant, quaint place on the Great North Road, the New Town ,however ,was an unpleasant,drab,characterless place as were all of those new towns.

I live in the northern(cough original cough) of the 2 garden cities and the best description of Stevenage I saw came from a website called "ChavtownsUK", it was the only town that was titled on the site and it's title was "Chav Mecca". Fun facts: Stevenage had(probably still does) the highest rates of teenage pregnancy and STD transmission in the whole of Europe so had the biggest STD and AIDS clinics in the UK. I think the city council hopes for a war so that enemy bombers and missiles can do some improvements to the town centre. Most depressing town centre in Britain, no architectural merit unless you're a weirdo that thinks square blocks of crumbling dirty concrete with some glass rammed in it looks good and always filled with noisy ignorant stoned chavs squabbling with each other about I dunno what.

I lived in Aylesbury for almost 20 years and I would say its harsh to call it the most hated town in Britain. I moved there in the 90's as it was cheaper to buy than Amersham/Wendover and Great Missenden. It's got good train links to London too with the Chiltern Line being one of the better ones. It's typically one of those commuter belt places that's sandwiched between 2 busier shopping areas (MK and Oxford) and what with current retail woes since the financial crash, it's high street has declined somewhat, but its not the most awful I've seen. Granted the town centre isn't the most picturesque despite being a market town, but I've seen far worse concrete monstrosities in other areas and from what I've seen on police docs on the TV, places like Luton and Northampton have far worse gangs and criminality.

Went back to stay in Aylesbury recently for a few days and have seen a big change. There’s been so much housing development that the traffic in the town is just awful. The roads cannot cope. And from the town centre’s perspective there’s not a huge amount in the way of retail, mostly coffee and charity shops (in comparison to where I now live). That said, that criteria could be applied to so many towns in the UK in these current times.

The big scandal was that the local council built a grandiose HQ for themselves called The Cube, which went £ 12 million over budget, was five years late and needed many repairs. The scandal was so bad they abolished the council. But the steelworks is closed and 10,000 locals, mainly descended from the Scots, lost their jobs.

I feel like the only thing that saves Swindon is Old Town itself. If you live there, its honestly wearing rose tinted glasses, espicially if you dont descend down the hill to get to the actual rotting and neglected Town Centre. Whats worse about the town is that from the very bottom of the Centre where Sir Daniels Pub is, that entire section was left to rot, so you get literal clumps like infection zones on a map where its dead zones filled with abondoned shops.

Slough was so drab and unappealing we never bothered to get out of the car. The only other town I've ever done that in was Holyhead, in the County of Angelesy, we were on holiday nearby and went for a look. I've never seen a place so depressing.

The NHS doesn’t cover everything - some drugs, all social care, dentistry - but does include GP visits, outpatients, ambulances for emergencies and non-emergencies. Drugs cost £9.35 per item but there are 3 monthly and annual tickets that are cheaper. Most chronic conditions mean prescriptions are free and they’re free for under 16s, if not in full time education, and over 60s. Contraceptives are free. It recently paid out £18m ($22m) for one dose of a drug to save a baby. But there are increased waiting lists after covid. The Queen is cheaper to fund than POTIS, by a billion or so.

I live in East Anglia and it's just becoming too hot to be comfortable. I've lived here since 2011 - the summer of 2013 was brutal, then everything was fine until the legendary heatwave of 2018. Since then every summer has been hotter and less bearable than the last with Met Office data to support it. People are like "it's called summer mate" and "what do you expect it's July mate". Nah, the data is showing something very different and other people are definitely starting to notice as well. This is not normal and I truly do believe climate change is the key. Later this week there is set to be a FIFTEEN DEGREE difference between my current location and my Scottish hometown. In January 2020 there was one evening where I was able to go outside at 7pm without a jumper or a coat on. It felt like April. Never experienced anything like it before or since.

The problem with Dover is that the cross-channel ferries have taken the town over. But at least it does have a decent castle.
@elainechubb9712 жыл бұрын
I thought all the ferry lines are going out of business because of Brexit? But I saw a video a few weeks ago complaining about the traffic, and about missing sailings because of the lines of cars and trucks, so perhaps the ferries are still going strong. Maybe filled with refugees from Scunthorpe, Chatham and the rest of these most hated towns.

As someone who lives in Stevenage it’s actually kinda fun, there’s many pubs and some shitty playgrounds. When the fair is at fair lands valley it’s ight i guess. I recommend a pub called ‘pear tree pub’ in Stevenage. I’m well known there😭

Scunthorpe being blocked from some searches online might be to do with it being the only town in England with four consecutive letters being a swear-word.

I grew up near Hemel Hempstead, which was a beautiful new town in the 60s and 70s but is now just a filthy slum, much worse than some of those mentioned in the video.
