Greetings from Laos. This community is much better than my country. At least, the roads are paved. The roads in Laos are primitive. We are drive on muddy dirt roads during the rainy season. In the dry season, the roads are dusty. The Irishman that lives in my town seems to like living in Laos. He has a farm business that grows bananas, mangos, avocadoes, and tea. He exports these products to Europe.

I think in the good old days when women didn't work they spent an extra 35 hours a week sweeping and mopping their front door step and curtains for free nothing else to do. And slagging each other off. Rather than having a job and financial than having financial independence. In the good old days my mum worked in a bank in the office as women were not allowed to work on the counter of a bank. And she got paid a lot less than the men even when doing exactly the same thing. I think in the good old days when a lot of people were starving and had nothing at all? Don't make me laugh. I think turning your nose up at poor people shows you have no common sense at all.

It didn't used to be like this. When I was a housing officer in East London so many tenants would have loved to have had a house with a garden even a tiny one. We used to live in Penhill in Downton Road. It was all neat and tidy no rubbish anywhere all the gardens back and front were neat and tidy. The housing officer would soon be calling on people if they didnt look after their garden and the property. That was a long time ago

We left an estate like this in Rugeley, Staffs, when we came to Australia in '57. This one has a lovely flow to it as well, curved roads, closes and green spaces. I'm sure (from the footage) that it has many social problems....unkempt gardens and homes. But the positive is that there are those trying hard to improve their community....hence the scaffolding to improve what are basic post war era homes, the installation of solar on some homes, and the attempts to create a garden. Gardens as seen in the post-card villages (whilst I'd loooove to get back to England to see them) take up large amounts of planning, effort, and (yes!!) loads of money to create and maintain. Thanks, Kevin, for showing the side of England that I (now 75) grew up with. Dad was a barman at the Pear Tree inn in Rugeley when he wasn't down a mine. Sadly that pub has gone. Sorry for the long reminisce but memories have flooded back, and I'm grateful.

Seeing the OUTWARD tidiness, peace and tranquility of the Cotswolds, then seeing OUTWORD depression? financial struggle? lack of services? of places like Penhill is a good juxtaposition. I don't believe every beautiful cottage is as happy and tranquil as it appears from the outside, just as every regular home isn't as unhappy and struggling as it may appear from the outside. I bet I could have phrased that better, however... I enjoyed this, Kevin. Thanks!

For a worst area that's pretty nice! There isn't much difference between this area and any of the idyllic villages or Bradford on Avon around 1960. There's lots of green trees and a few derelict homes and people having a conversation at the bus stop (because they have a bus service). There are lots of gardens that have gone to seed which is lovely for wildlife. I love allowing our beautiful native plants to just live among us without being killed off. The only thing this area needs is to have the small piles of rubbish bags removed, the rest of it is people living their lives without airs and graces just like the Wiltshire villages we see an old photos from 1900 to 1960. Thanks for posting

It seems that after Covid, things have got a lot worse, in every area, corrupt politicians, more people coming in to the country, with less jobs to go around, companies down sizing on staff, production, inflation - food and housing, goods. There is no need to let yourself, your home or surroundings fall into decay, though sadly people do give up

I know the Penhill estate quite well, and your video made Penhill look quite leafy, especially the houses with nice gardens. There are folk who just don't care about their garden, and yes, there are the undesirables who bring the place down and make it dangerous to walk through, especially at night. Lot's of towns and cities up and down the country share Penhill's problems. Incidentally, Swindon is referred to as 'Wiltshire's back yard', by those living beyond the town.

I was raised in Park North in the 1950’s and early 1960’s, a council estate not too far from Penhill. I wonder why Penhill can’t have a community association which would work with Swindon Borough Council to clear the worst of the rubbish in a number of skips? Getting rid of the discarded furniture and bush clearing the overgrowth will make this a much nicer area to live. You’ll always have antisocial elements on any large estate, but collectively people from Penhill are decent and hard working and could turn this around to everyone’s benefit.

A great walk. Though I must say, I had so many thoughts and opinions throughout the video (some not so nice) All I can say is some residents are proud of where they live and some not so much. Why do they allow so much rubbish to accumulate outside their home?

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and opinions! The rubbish in front of homes can be due to various reasons, such as local waste management issues, socioeconomic factors and sometimes even individual circumstances. It's definitely a complex. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and reflect on my video! Happy Sunday Regina

I live in Swindon and considering the amount of knife crime that happens, home break ins and mugging and people getting jumped. It’s not a good area and it’s normally not quiet. This was in the early morning and the smackheads aren’t up till 12 lol

I'm retired living in Texas where the temps are running 110 plus with 3 months without rain. I would be out there every day mowing with my electric mower. I love doing that and burning calories at the same time. The weather looks superb and lots of green grass. I'd toss out packets of wildflowers along the way and contact the local authorities to put out a dumpster so I could throw out the trash. Lots of missed opportunities in this video.

I love Swindon, the good and the bad, that town is amazing; a mixture of the very old and new . They say that Penhill is bad but I don't think so, It just has a unique character. 35:13 one of the many houses that I lived in many years ago, (white house) Brings so many fond memories. Thanks for this.
