@FrancoisDufook that’s false in this case. There’s so much I can cover in my time in the town. If you’ve seen my other videos on this series (top 10 worse places to live in England) you will realise that I say things as they are. I was only able to document Swindon’s town centre just like most of the other towns I’ve been too. See my video on Aylesbury and Aldershot for proof.

Where you filmed the dancers around the 6 minute mark, on the building to the right where it now says 'Flannels', The Beatles played there before they were famous :) It used to be McIlroy's Ballroom. I was born and raised in Swindon but I left over 35 years ago. If you were to go to the estates, especially the ones beginning with P (Penhill, Pinehurst, Park South, Park North) you would find a different Swindon. Much more working class with areas just above the poverty line. I grew up in Park South and the P's have always been the rougher areas of the town. Thanks for the walk around though, it is always nice to see my home town.

Back in my youth it was the place to go for your music, plenty of clubs and dance halls, decent clothes shops and a place to meet up with your mates, it had a good vibe back then, it had diversity, but everything seemed to fit, day or night it was a safe place to be. Then the planners backed by the council started to mess with everything, knocked good stuff down and replaced it with cold soulless buildings, they ripped the very heart out of Swindon, people started to leave, shops became empty or became charity shops, businesses left because of the rents and rates, it left it with nothing worth going into town for. I occasionally go the the theatre, but even that is getting less and less.

I've lived here my whole life near enough and I can 100% agree. The town was buzzing back in the day (20 year ago and before) you had different garage artists every week in the brunnel rooms with people from all over coming clubbing here to see them, the bottom of town was the hot spot for night life, drinks were cheap and there was different music for everyone, but then about 2009 things changed massively and for the past 6/7 years the council don't seem to care much about its Tennants or if I'm honest anything. They have been slowly shutting the town down, rents too high for them to afford which is why it's empty. There is a bit of trouble but no different to most towns, cities. The homeless numbers have risen over the years too. But 1 thing I can say is that swindon always comes together when it's needed. Like with the protests, we all stood united (bar about 4 people) check put the swindon advertiser for community spirit. If you get outside of the town center you can find so many nice areas,. The main thing we lack is things to do or for Kids. I could say so much more of my 40 years here. But 1 thing I can say is don't rely on the council for anything.

As someone from Swindon it's not the best but there are far worse places. You visited the town centre which is probably the worst part. The Old Town has plenty of nice bars and restaurants. Jobs are plentiful and housing is affordable compared to the cities and towns near Swindon. Also, for connectivity Swindon is a great place. Which is why so many businesses have come to the town. Crime is fairly low, wages pretty high. It needs more investment but far, far worse places in the UK.

Very interesting @IMOLE SQUARE. born and bred in Swindon, there has been noticeable difference in the town centre area over the past decade. in my opinion the retail parks that have come along have cheaper rents than the town centre and much better parking facilities meaning companies will prefer moving further out and gain footfall. that leaves the town centre looking like a ghost town. If you didnt know from timestamp 10;18, the grass verge in the middle where you are walking along was once the old canal that went through the town. A certain charity have been trying to get this back into the town centre but with no success, which is a shame. Swindon has a good heritage but things do move on and past councils etc have let that erode away. i have travelled extensively with my past job, over majority of the Uk and Europe and Swindon is a very middle of the road town for crime and investment. Town centres all over Uk are struggling with businesses relocating etc. we also suffered massively with a council that were not proactive at all. There is plenty of work available, for those that want to work. thats the issue.

I think the trouble in the centre is that lots of the population in that patch feels like its there short term, with a bias to recent arrivals from around the world or peope with addiction / mental health issues and, in turn, its probably reasonable that they don't really have much love for the space to work as a community to keep it clean, work together to minimise or remove bad graffiti etc. Those living there just don't have any incentive to do anything much positive. As for the guy on the rainbow stairs, it blows my mind that you'd travel to live somewhere you don't feel safe and can't find work - I mean, I don't feel that either of those are really an issue here, the town may be boring compared to many places but it is safe and there are always job opportunities available, even if they aren't necessarily super high paying or glamorous roles.

The problem with most of the houses in the town centre is that they have been converted into house shares so the people living there won't make any effort to make them look nice from the outside, and to be honest why should they. The landlords don't care about the appearance of their properties as long as they're making money. I travel around the UK for my job and unfortunately this is the situation in all big towns.

This was largely a misrepresentation as you could have wondered into many better areas of the town - people now go to out of town shopping centres including the Outlet Village where people from Wales travel to to do their Christmas shopping, for example. All towns are suffering from the effects of the pandemic and cost of living but there are lots of positives you missed - am sure you had good intentions but need to do more research before randomly turning up. The first guy you interviewed was clueless and not sure what the cyclist was on but largely talked rubbish as well. Not great unfortunately.

I wuz a kid in Swidon England from age 9 to 13 ie June 1961 to July 1965 when we moved to Portsmouth Town!!! In those dim and distant, Pig Hill (Swindon literally translates from ye olde Anglesea to P.H.) wuz a very go ahead township! It didn't exactly sparkle like the diamond of the East!, "Swindon a Rose red city half as gold as green!??" Nah none o that! but it was OK, well as a kid I thought so, I later learned Dad hated the joint and couldn't wait to get us to Portsmouth! 😂 which I also loved and have great friends there to this day! I digress again, sorry, so Swindon, huge chunk of my young life, sad to see the old girl down the tubes 😢 we lived at 86 Beatrice right on the corner of Cricklade Rd, dad was manager when it was Tyre Supplies Ltd, I went to Gorse Hill Primary then Fearndale Road Sec Mod, from Swindon we witnessed The Cuban Missile Crisis that could have killed us all very quickly! or too slowly!?, The coming of the Beatles! ❤❤ The first James Bond movie! The assassination of JFK 😢 (I arrived at school, ie Fearndale) to be given that terrible news 😢, The start of the Vietnam thing, Even though not a port, I bought a my first copy of "Ocean Ships" by Ian Allen from a bookshop on Cricklade road near the corner of Fearndale road, which eventually led me to be a ship lover and photographer then to a 42 year career as a marine engineer! Yep Swindon got a lot to answer for in moi life (Especially as I'm originally and again later a Readingight!) ❤❤❤ For my Friends Terry Gardner, Steven Wilkins, Henry Watson, Bob, God I can't remember his surname!, Oh and I must pay tribute to "The magic Roundabout" opened 7 years after we left But! Negotiated many times by me between 1972 and 1981! And I now have the T shirt! Swindon you may be a dump now, my mum and dad didn't like you! But you will always have a place in my heart! BTW Loved Coatwater! Even though you couldn't swim in it😢 we were always told polio infested!? Any info on that! Cheers Guys! ❤❤❤

Taco bell is the only reason I go to Swindon. The outlet is also decent as the girl mentioned. There are so many shut down jobs and crackheads there too.

Green haired Dan Heathcoate needs to be honest. He's never rented a 3 bed house. He's been in bedsits for years. Also doesn't walk into a new job in 90 minutes. Get with reality Heathcoate.

Locked off spaces! They are garages for goodness sake, this is a real misrepresentation of the place, theres so much more here than what is being shown in this video. There are some really lovely areas which were not even shown here, cyclist was a bit of a weirdo! 😂 really negative view and not realistic!
