5:09 the field used to be a park for kids years ago, it got vandalised and no one wanted to maintain it so they ripped it out. 9:17 is the valley, it used to be a walkthrough with trees and bushes, some benches, like a small dog park. 10:25 the pub used to be called the tempest, now its just barren land. it was burnt down a fair few times. 11:27 i am one stree over from the road you are on... There is also the pithill that i assume you turned right at 11:19, if you went left and followed the road around then up the ally way, there is a giant field, cars and tipping was rampant there, and also a lot of crime at night. Also if you follow it around its like a world divide on the next area compared to the rest. You will also only see people around at late day to night, most of it is kids being asbos or assaulting/stealing or doing drugs. I don't know how to timestamp properly but this is the best i can do. Holmewood has always been bad, but it used to have a certain respect for people who lived there, these days the kids are out of control and no one seems to care. here is a link regarding the tempest that stood for half a decade with no action taken https ://www.change.org/p/city-of-bradford-council-uk-please-demolish-the-tempest-public-house-in-holmewood

I am dubious abt not enough money to keep it clean... Holmewood might be particularly bad but one can see how the quality of management of council estates varies from council to council. The estates do require more vigorous management than private estates.. But it's not impossible.. One estate I lived on started weekly clearance of abandoned junk items.. It made a lot of difference.. Two men and a van taking the crap to the council's dump.. Once they were on top of it.. It was five/ ten minutes minutes per week per estate. Regular consistency matters. Eg with graffiti.. .

That church was St Luke's Catholic Church, opened (I think) in 1966 with huge windows to let the natural light in. It was allocated a nice large piece of land for a future parish hall and priest's house, in a spirit of unbridled optimism. The timing couldn't have been worse; the RC Church was in the process of "modernising" and that led to its implosion from sub-culture to weekend hobby, a process which is continuing. Those big windows had too many bricks put through them and so were bricked up -in red brick, contrasting with the original pink ones, and making the place look like a rough Glasgow pub!! The church could never support a priest, the future parish ended up being a small, sad crew of old people and it was shut down in 2007. Nobody was interested in buying it, and it finally got burned down last July.

[@D...Charger]

I live on a ok housing estate and because the local council charge £30 per large item people dump stuff.Seem to see baby car seats in random places.Charity shops cant take them (i worked in one for a while) as they dont know if the seat has been in a car crash.We had a man come in with a kids seat which cost him over £300,and was nice.But my boss said "sorry cant take that".I think housing estates should bring in a roll off skip say once every 6 months,and allow one large item or a few smaller items per home.Not everyone has a car,so not able to get rid of stuff down the local dump.Maybe that would reduce the fly tipping.Just to add,i went down the dump our local dump,and the guy on the entrance tried to charge me £4 each bag.I said "bollox to that" to my dad,drove in and put stuff in the right bins.Then drove out.The guy didnt chase after us.

I'm from Bradford myself. I could show you a few decent places its not all bad. In from a little estate 5 mins from the town centre called canterbury. Lived there 32 year and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. It's not the best estate but its my estate 🤣👍

A lot of fly tipping has started because the councils charge so much for trade waste disposal.

Not for cans of coke, disposable vapes, mc donald wrapers though

[@mrdeafa25]

A lot of that crap has been dumped by travellers who are paid by unsuspecting people to take their rubbish to a tip.

[@colettemikaelson160]

not just trade waste. recently cost me £30 to have a mattress removed, the local councils have increased collection costs. a single black bag (other then whats in the bin) £10 fly tipping is only going to get worse.

[@125brat]

​@@colettemikaelson160And now councils have announced they are closing recycling centres because they can't afford to keep them open, it's going to get far far worse. With no deterrent and very little chance of being caught, this country is going to disappear under piles of rubbish.

Only recently come across your channel. Really enjoying it. I moved to South Africa from the UK 17 years ago and it took a long time to get used to the litter here in the townships but I can honestly say i think this video is worse with litter than some of the townships here. I cant believe how a country like England has deteriorated so much.

[@elizabethallsopp-qf4oy]

Many years ago i lived not far from Holmewood with my ex- husband and ten day old baby girl . I was out walking my dog on a sunny Bank Holiday in May and the traffic on the main road was very busy. On my return home, a guy in a range rover in the traffic queue signalled me to step out in front of him. A lad on a motorbike was dashing past the queuing traffic, hit my dog injuring him so badly he had to be put to sleep and hitting myself causing serious injuries. It was a long recovery which included a leg amputation. The motorbike rider was the same age as myself (21) he was three times over the legal alcohol limit; had no drivers licence, no road tax and no insurance.....I'll give you three guesses where he lived at that time

Born & Raised on this estate, 1980. Got out of there in early 2000's. Was all good as kids, looking back and seeing this is kind of soul crushing. Check the videos of Holmewood in the 60's 70s. Was a beautiful place, people queueing too buy the first houses here. Still many a fond memory aeventuring around the Tip, the Valley, Pit Hill and Blackcarr woods.

Glad I live on the outskirts of the Bradford district, right on the boarder with Leeds. Not saying it's paradise around where I live as we have our share of poorly raised, anti-social c*nts, but generally speaking, the further away from the city centre you travel, the nicer the places get. The biggest problem now is that the type of people you find in and around the city centre are moving into the nicer areas and bringing their ways with them. Take from that what you will.

@lankystreakofpiss4765 you might be right but a lot of places in County Durham are like this true and they're even more homogeneous... the problem is that it's trendy to help areas that are diverse so they often get more of the funding and leaves places like this behind

@@patrickchampion8179 good point mate. It kind of feels like what has been happening to white boys in education that they are the worst performing and most unlikely to go on to higher education because they're getting left behind because of people wanting to help non-white English/ British for whatever reasons like maybe D.E.I etc but not sure as non-so called diverse areas are some of the worst I've ever seen though.

The core problem with England is that for at least 25 years, the people who are best positioned to drive change and fix this country have decided to not care. The people aged 30 to 60 have zero interest in holding anyone accountable, zero interest in knowing who runs this country and how it should be run. Scared of confrontation, scared of the unknown, scared to be singled out. And the government have promoted this so that no one ever comes and throws them out. There's whole sections of this country that do not value the ground they are walking on, in any way. They either don't relate to it so it has no worth.
