Poorest Cities in the UK - Nottingham

[@larrydavid18]

Update:Nottingham city council are 1 billion in debt. Robin hood energy, Nottingham castle are in liquidation. They also ruined the broadmarsh area. Subsequently not only has Nottingham the lowest disposable income, but the highest council tax in the UK. Get your head round that...

[@kubhlaikhan2015]

And every one of those disasters deserved a public inquiry. The ineptitude of demolishing Broadmarsh is so bloody obvious - no due diligence!

[@ballshippin3809]

The Labour council in control don't need to worry. Despite not meeting one person in Nottingham who actually likes the Labour council they will still overwhelmingly vote Labour in any upcoming elections. It's the one thing I never understood about people living in Nottingham.

For the 50 years I've known this city, it has always had relatively low wages but relatively high rents. Infrastructure projects have always been absurdly expensive and taken four times longer than necessary (flood defenses, the suspension bridge, the 'Nottingham Gateway', the market square revamps and so on). Basically, we'd be better off with no planners at all.

[@baratoplata7050]

Nottingham trams were by far the cheapest delivery of a metro system in the UK, and our tram and bus network is often looked at as gold standard by other areas of the UK with other councils learning and copying us. I've lived in 5 UK cities moving for work and it's by far the best transport system bar London but that's another kettle of fish.

[@JM-tc3hk]

There is something to be said about the official city boundaries skewing the figures. Sheffield and Leeds for some reason have really far reaching boundaries so much so that some small villages many miles away from these cities are within their respective city council areas. In Nottingham, it is the opposite. The city only includes the rough inner city council estates and the nicer suburbs such as West Bridgford, Beeston, Arnold, Mapperley etc are all technically outside the city in different council areas. When talking about Nottingham, those areas should really be included as they are as much part of Nottingham as equivalent suburbs in Leeds and Sheffield are. This would even out the figures a bit more and stop Nottingham being at the bottom for everything.

[@ed.771]

A great example of misleading statistics, indeed! Sometimes I reckon the Nottingham boundaries are how they are so city council and county council can be dominated by Labour and Conservative respectively without any pesky incoveniant political competition. I especially imagine that West Bridgford people like having a sense of separation from the city and it's (probably higher) council taxes. Which raises another point: it's no surprise city council often struggles for money when their boundaries are disproportionately full of low council tax band properties, and even worse for them financially there's also lots of council tax-exempt student HMOs within the official City of Nottingham, which further worsens the revenue issue.

[@brothersman524]

I agree with you. It doesn't include areas like Beeston, Chillwell, Toton, West Bridgford, Edwalton, Gamston, Arnold, Bramcote, Mapperley, Carlton, Gedling, Burton Joyce, Nuthall - all nice areas. It only includes areas within the city boundary which represents inner city areas as you rightly pointed out such as St. Anns, Meadows, Bestwood Estate, Top Valley, Bulwell, Radford, Hyson Green, Sneinton, Basford, Forest Fields, Broxtowe, Bobbersmill - all horrible and run down areas. If the Greater Nottingham areas were included, it definitely wouldn't be the poorest

The fact is the city Council has been Controlled & by Labour since 1988 nearly 36 years does have a negative impact only in 2020 the Robin Hood Energy lost £38.1 million of tax payers money & went into bankruptcy with also 230 jobs lost & in 2014-2015 the council misspent £16 million of tax payers money, just those two events alone cost the Nottingham tax payers £54 million i were born in Nottingham in 1963 & i believe the 70's & 80's the city centre was a place for outsiders to visit our thriving City but unfortunately nowadays the City is a shithole with no leadership it is heart breaking to witness & it will only get worse

[@Adam-rp6vf]

Such videos creates trolls from the anti-City areas. Generally the UK is getting poorer, thanks to a rubbish government and Brexit in which the benefit living voted to leave the EU, creating huge gaps in employment and those benefit living people are simply not filling the jobs. Nottingham is given a bad reputation as is parts of London, parts of Bradford, Leicester, Birmingham and anywhere else that coloured people live. Such videos avoid the issues in Stoke, Wakefield, Middlesbrough, Exeter, Hull, Washington, Ipswich and Lancaster because they are white areas. Before any racist tries to troll me, I am English aged 15 and my dad was in the armed forces for seventeen years. Whilst it's true that Nottingham City Council sucks, and doesn't create jobs in offices or industrial compared to Derby, Leicester and even Mansfield. Nottingham only creates jobs in hospitality and retail. Higher paid jobs are rarely created and this is a failing of NCC.

[@nickxcore74]

Nottingham was losing lots of it’s industries while we were in the EU. We used to have a lot of manufacturing and big factories like Raleigh bicycles who ended up moving to China, we had John Players Cigarettes who went to Poland, Shipstones Brewery, Plessey, we had a huge textile industry too. We still have the Boots factory, but that doesn’t employ near the amount of workers it did 25 years ago. Some folk seem to look down on working class people in city’s like mine and deem the people thick and ignorant, but the reality is lots of well paid jobs have gone in this city and nothing’s replaced them apart from the usual agency works or doing jobs like Deliveroo, Evri or Uber. Many folk here didn’t feel any benefits of being in the EU and they feel totally ignored and that they’ve been left behind. We’re a very diverse city, but I think on the whole people get along with each other very well here. Yes there are bad parts in Nottingham, but this country has always been this way even before we had increased immigration. It’s very naive for anyone to suggest that all crime here is committed by ethnic minorities and immigrants. As for people being on benefits, many people I know are working, but are deemed working poor due to them being on minimum wage jobs and need benefits to top up their wages. Most folk here are happy go lucky grafters, but feel totally failed by this government due to a lack of investment in this city. The City council also haven’t done a good job and have wasted money on silly projects and implemented a stupid parking levy which scared some businesses off and they based their companies elsewhere.

[@LA-nm1jt]

It was called Snottingaham (or something close to that) when it was originally founded, because the Saxon leader of the group that settled there was called Snott (not 100% sure if my spelling is correct there). At that time that name wouldn't have been associated with mucus. Any English place name with 'ham' at the end of it is Anglo Saxon. 'Ing' means people, 'Ham' means homestead. So the homestead of the people of Snott becomes Snottingaham, which over time was corrupted to Nottingham
