Is it not the residents responsibility to keep the area clean ? This is exactly what happens when people refuse to be liable for their own behaviour . More government is NOT the answer , individual and group obligations and discipline are .

Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

I simply cannot believe how much the UK has changed since I lived there 35 years ago. I lived in Bury St. Edmunds, Ipswich, Woodbridge and London. I have traveled the World and currently live in Germany. I always thought I'd return to the UK and retire in the Greater London area, Surrey, Sussex, Norfolk or Suffolk. After watching many of your clips, I'm not so sure that I'd feel safe. I am aware that with time, all places change but to such measures - wow! I have a cousin who lives in Thetford Norfolk and he told me, to remain in Germany as the economy and infrastructure is much better. Although I agree about the economy/infrastructure, the Germans are a cold lot - they all seem to suffer from "grumpy face" syndrome, and the language is so aggressive - it takes getting used to. Well, I wish the best for the UK - hope things get better.

I can honestly say that out of these 3 big cities, Nuremberg is the most friendly, followed by Frankfurt and then Stuttgart. I don't get it here. The Germans facial expression is one of a cross between a sourpuss and someone who just smelled some bad cheese. Not one smile or a cheery disposition. I miss popping in the pub after work and holding a simple conversation with a stranger on such friendly levels. Here, all you get is a stare, a grunt maybe and a cold "hallo" if you're lucky or shall we say unlucky😂😂🤣🤣😁😁@@AnthonyMcRedmond-Vg2ry

I was stationed in Berlin in 1990-1993 and it was an interesting assignment. I was pondering today about returning to England (East Anglia /Suffolk) simply due to the people. Funny, as we are known to be "reserved" in the UK, but the Germans place it on a whole other level. I went to a party last week, where there was no music, no conversation outside of the subject of economics, the Euro position, how to better bank your monies and no one here is a banker or economics major. This would have never happend to my old crew in the UK. We would have been better off going to some Gasthaus, drink some beers and watch something on the tele - but no.The highlight of the party was watching a heavy seat comedian (Cindi von Marzan) which wasn't all that funny as her Berlin humor is eccentric on her environment in Berlin. Regardless, I managed and enjoyed the food. I simply miss the friendliness of our peoples.@@sebastiennesp1978

I was born in Slough and lived there for 35 years. Just moved to west London recently. Slough was always known as a shit hole since I was kid, however it progressively got worse through the 90s, 2000s and 2010s. So it became even more of a shit hole. The local council is also bankrupt within last couple of years, despite high council tax due to extreme financial mismanagement such as knocking down a perfectly good library and bus station and rebuilding with modern architecture monstrosity, the’renovation’ of the high street (yes what you can see on the vid is renovated) and the council building a thunderbird themed hotel. Pure insanity. Now they’ve jacked up council tax to highest possible level and stripped back bin collections to every two weeks

And though it’s easy to criticise, let’s respect the fact that the place surely suits the types who live there.

Ive lived in slough my whole life. Im 21. Its got its bad sides but I believe you don’t really know a town or people until you interact with them and see how they go about their days. Its easy to walk through a few areas and record. Slough’s a diverse place and so I have friends from all cultures and religions, its a beautiful experience. My interactions with the community are always pleasant and I never feel unsafe walking through slough day or night. The council are somewhat to blame for the state of the high street and other areas, they are quite stupid and waste money unnecessarily, recently having gone bankrupt. With the easy access to London by the new elizabeth line I do anticipate it to become more of a commuter town in the coming years. It already is but with the elizabeth line its gained a bit more popularity.

The problems with Slough: 1) High crime. 2) The people with problematic behaviour aren't a tiny minority like in other towns and they aren't just working class people. The behaviour is part of their culture. 3) Very overcrowded. Any vacant office or spare land is converted to flats. 4) Incredibly bad drivers. Because a lot of the people are alphas. Also I've always suspected that you can get a licence without taking a test. 5) Lots of very anti-social people and unusually a lot of middle-class people. It's not just "chavs" that are the problem. For example, If you live in a flat then you'll frequently have problems with anti-social neighbours who are middle-class. Letting agents have told me that this is common. 6) People have very low standards. For example, Town has LOTS of fast food & butchers shops regularly with open rubbish bags out the back and rats running about during the day time. 7) Labour council is repeatedly re-elected no matter how incompetent and wasteful of money that they are.

Theoretically they may make improvements (Waste less money so that they provide better public services / Reduce the number of new properties built). But the Labour council was even re-elected shortly after it became public that they were £800m+ in debt. And I don't see what can be done about the standard of people in the town who are IMO a big part of the problem. The people who move to the town bring the same problematic attitudes because they come here to be with people like them.

Blame the gangmasters who bring people into Slough to work in the warehouses and factories below minimum wage leaving the immigrants in the same poverty trap as the indigenous inhabitants... Slough should be a boom town but the employers keep the pay low by shipping in workers. One factory refurbishment I worked in Slough we found a mezzanine with about ten beds above a portacabin that seemed to be a makeshift living room/kitchen area... The place is a real eye-opener, a lot of shady things go on in that town.

I lived in Britwell and Chalvey. Chalvey is definitely the worst part of Slough - same as High Street. Completely awful and deprived place. On the other hand I found Britwell kinda good for Slough - it's very green, still not so much of green areas taken by new developments. Some people living there are indeed unemployed, neglecting local area but compared to the rest of Slough it's actually a good place. The funny thing is that complete shithole like Chalvey is located twenty minutes walk or five minutes drive from one of the poshest areas in UK - Eton. You just basically need to walk through playgrounds belonging to Eton College and here you are - completely different world!

Slough in the 1950/60/70/80’s was great place with council rich from money from Industry I think April 1974 was a mark of the end of good times as Slough was moved from Buckinghamshire to Berkshire so it has had no space to expand north as it should have done instead it kept building mad flats 24/7 inside the urban area now the council is bankrupt and Buckinghamshire won’t touch it the only way forward is to be absorbed by its eastern giant neighbour Great London as it’s 33rd brough as been suggested in a well known blogging site.

I worked I Slough for a while in the 80s. It wasn’t great then, but not on this level, not that I visited these areas, but you get a reasonable sense of the state of most places from the High Street. Slough seems particularly blighted for a town in the South East and that is a bit of a surprise given its local company. Just down the road is Eton College, often referred to as ‘Slough Grammar’. The approach to Slough on the M4 is also dominated by Windsor Castle. Slough has arrived at this state from low place to begin with. In 1937, Poet Laureate, John Betjeman published his homage ‘Slough’. Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough! It isn’t fit for humans now, There isn’t grass to graze a cow. Swarm over, Death! Come, bombs and blow to smithereens Those air-conditioned, bright canteens, Tinned fruit, tinned meat, tinned milk, tinned beans, Tinned minds, tinned breath. Following WWII, what is now the site of the main industrial and business park was used as a dumping ground for disused military equipment. The industrial park provided me with my one memory of Slough that will not leave me. The estate is home to a Mars Bar factory, which on some hot summer days, covers the surrounding area with a thick sweet smell of processed chocolate and sugar, etc., which might be welcome on a cold winter day, but I don’t think they open the factory’s ventilation until it gets hotter.

Immigrants (of course, they are everywhere) some of them act really tough when u mess around with them, mostly romani people. 2. school was filled out with garbage around including gums on the ground of course. 3. i seen 3 crimes around my house going on, first one was when some drug addicts were outside my house screaming and hitting others cars, 2nd was when a guy was really angry with blood coming out through his mouth and assaulted some people who were trying to help him, also hit peoples cars. 3rd was a husband on drugs hitting her wife in public. 4. getting harassed while taking a walk. 5. pretty hard to find a house so i lived in a very small and narrow apartment which u could have easily tripped over 6. if you live here then it would be kinda hard to get outside here since anything could happen to you with those shady people around there. 7. always cloudy (of course) and so much garbage on the streets. Overall: worst place to ever exist, i was really happy when i finally got to move out from slough to a better place.

They are causing problems for people living in their own homes!!! The asian next door neighbours are very territorial. Our home is their territory!!!! I have been subjected to some very nasty crimes. Gangstalking, device hacking etc. Our home has been broken into by the next door neighbours!!! Been filmed inside our house and these clips have been posted on the internet!! Been assaulted inside our house. Various chemicals have been sprayed into our privately owned house by the South Indian Tamil (Privates) tenants. For the past 4 years!!! Mine and my 79yr old mother's eyesight has been damaged as a result. Was able to see clearly up to 20ft. Now been reduced to about 7ft!!! The adjoining house is owned by a Chinese family (their landlord). The Indian neighbours in the house painted blue are also involved. It is like living in a zoo!!!! Boundaries are not observed or respected. This is a free for all to do whatever enters their brains. Also, these neighbours/ privates tenants take class A drugs. These are extremely frightening times that we are living in. I have contacted the police about all the above mentioned this month. New crime: next door neighbours are forming GANGS. In order to do the above.

It's a personal pet peeve that has made me start picking up others trash in my road as people don't respect their own neighbourhoods and think it's okay to do it to mine. And yes rats is a big issue which I'm fighting as we speak as people feed birds in the park which attracts rats. Yes the town centre is a dump, all the good shops have wisely left years ago and the homeless and street drinkers rule the roost. And yes Slough has dabbled in multi-culturism which has made the town grow but has become a little soulless with many different communities doing their thing, but their doesn't appear to be one unifying culture that binds them. Oh and yes the council is broke and services are a bit hit and miss sometimes. But otherwise a lovely place.

Slough's economic decline mirrors the decline of its trading estate as a manufacturing centre. It is now a sterile data park full of data centres serving London's and Europe's banks, telecoms and internet companies. Many long-established businesses have long since relocated away from Slough or moved to Eastern Europe, where labour and business rates are cheaper. This has left its multi-culti residents with no place to find steady employment, and instead there is now a proliferation of box-vans parked in all the residential streets, as people have had to turn to becoming delivery drivers. Slough, since the 1970s, has been a host town for each wave of immigration into the country. These new entrants could easily find work back then on the trading estate. However, the current cohort of asylum seekers have nowhere to work officially and hence put a strain on Slough's finances. Most have to work unofficially in the gig-economy as delivery riders, serving the needs of all the fast-food outlets that have sprung up in and around the High Street. Also, Slough's multi-culti residents have no connection with the town, so they have no vested interest in maintaining it. Part of the problem is that Slough's residents don't know how to hold Slough Borough Council to account for the town's physical decline, and especially for not addressing the accumulation of litter and general fly-tipping. The easiest way to mobilise Slough Borough Council to do something about the state of each neighbourhood is to raise a complaint online. Complaints tend to send a rocket up Slough Borough Council, as the number of complaints it receives are a key metric that they actively try to manage down and resolve. Report an issue and if nothing is done about it, then complain and then things will start to happen. A lot of the problem with Slough is that the council and the police prefer to take the easy option of turning a blind eye and doing nothing whenever they can.

I live in Slough. Its not as segregated as people say. I think its great that Black blokes are systematically going round screwing many (not all) Chav White girls on poor run down council estates in Britwell, Cippenham Manor Park, Wexham and Langley. It makes me extremely happy that the Whites and Blacks indulge in a lifestyle that makes them happy. At least they are intergrated which is what they always wanted. The Asians as usual own all the shops in Slough. They are the most hard-working people I've ever seen but they do not speak English very well. The Romanians form their own little communities and don't really interact with anyone as most of them do not speak English very well either. The Polish people are very racist towards Blacks and they also form their own little communities. The main problem is that all the various groups do not interact with each other. It's mainly only Blacks and Whites who actually interact with each other with most of the interaction being sexual in nature. Integration can only work when everyone speaks the same language. If no one bothers to learn to speak English integration will never work. The Polish people are very hard-working but they are very racist towards Blacks so intergration is not possible. They are also White but they are not Anglo-Saxon so their behaviour is very different from the indigenous British. The only two groups of people in the entire country of Great Britain that are truly integrated are indigenous British people and Black Caribbean people. The interaction between these two grouos is mainly sexual in nature. We see this behaviour on poor run down council estates throughout Britain. Whatever makes them happy is cool with me.

I've worked in Slough for 20+ years as a commuter. The pandemic saw me transfer from driving there every day to popping in once a year. Chalvey was always a bit dodgy as was Britwell. You locked your car doors but I'd been doing that since being a student in Salford. I can't believe just how bad Slough looks now. The town centre used to be vibrant with loads of good eateries and shops. Looks like a turd town now. Could have a lot to do with the council going insanely bankrupt as well as the local population not caring how the place looks. Never shit on your doorstep springs to mind but this is lost on the majority of Slough's population by the looks of things. Community, pride, ethics and values seem to have been pissed into the wind over 20 years.

Smackheads were everywhere using the one payphone outside the school. They were constantly nosing about the trucks and work vehicles looking for something to rob, i even saw a couple trying to pickpocket a bloke sat on a wall having a smoke, they were nitties trying to commando crawl behind him to nick the wallet hanging out of his pocket. I whistled him and nodded to the two feckless muppets lying in the empty cans and food wrappers behind him. Christ, it was rough.

The influx of individuals from war torn places, individuals whose cultures are very different from ours. The city Council infest more into those who never contributee to our system. It has been lead by the Asian communities for decades. Every job is given to Asians and not the Afro Caribbean or white English communities. Many of my family and the West Indian communities don't go into the shit high street. Its got worst over the 12 years since I have been there. I have emigrated to where my parents homeland, as I feel I can no longer live in the country that I was born in. The city Council did nothing for our communities, I was raised on the other side of Bayliss park and when the English and Caribbean communities where using Bayliss park, house, the Orchard center these were well kept. These spaces were given to the Asians and within few years it was a dump and we had no where to go. Chalvey had a strong black west Indian people the majority were from my parents island, we are proud people and loved it we were proud to tell anyone that we were from there, now no one wish to state such things.

Just look at the derogatory language used by people leaving messages. I think the people who are leaving such messages probably live in a dump themselves. Crime, fly tipping and dumping of rubbish was prevalent before. You say the town was better then? Homelessness, poverty, crime, fly tipping, all these issues have existed over the decades.

It appears that the term you intend to use is 'ethnic minorities.' The challenges that have arisen in this locality have seen a significant escalation subsequent to the influx of Romanian expatriates. This includes the solicitation concerns mentioned by the narrator. It would be inaccurate to categorize these issues as solely an Asian predicament, particularly when one observes that the majority of businesses in the area are run by individuals of South Asian descent. Instead, the issue of destitution and solicitation is emblematic of a broader concern that reflects deficiencies in both central and local government management, particularly with regard to the Eastern European demographic in the region.

The centre is very industrial as it was the biggest trading estate in Europe. However the areas less than mile outside the centre, which all part of slough are very beautiful and nice. The high street looks like that because some years ago the Qataris bought up all of it. It going to have billions of pounds worth of redevelopment, hence why all the shops are empty as leases are not being renewed. Thats because its all going to be knocked down and rebuilt. The town is going through massive redevelopement. The London Tube line has now extended to it, which is going to rocket investment and house prices. According to the figures the town also has the most millionaires in the country. Showing just a few bad corners like every town has, is a very untruthful way to display the town.

Just saw your Walsall video, then came here, because I've been to Slough (I live in Reading & usually try to avoid Slough) Must say, Slough is 1000000 times nicer than Walsall.

Britwell is calm. Literally nothing going on. You did fail to show all the new housing all round the place, the new houses aren't flats but nice terraces with their own cul de sac areas. Surrounded by forest and park on all sides. Its also next to the posher parts of Burnham and Farnham common and royal. There is a grammar school 10m away from those shops.

How is it not as depicted? I took this footage of the actual areas myself. There are no areas like this in the city I live in, absolutely nothing like it. I’m not trying to have a go, it’s possible you don’t know what it’s like in other cities if you don’t travel much.

Where do you live? sure I'll find some crappy areas some distance around for you. London best areas have their dark spots around too. I think Slough is unfairly misrepresented. I live in Cippenham,it may be boring, as most of the UK is, but not a bad area at all. Also: you say "most people in these areas are foreigners", which sounds somewhat classist if not xenophobic.

Apparently another issue is aging first generation Asians that have put their kids through school. Kids don't want to work in retail or catering. The parents are left in a nostalgic deadlock. Obvious;y this is not all of the places. Local authorities need proper seizure powers. I am sure there are enough startups that could revive any high street if it was done collectively and ridiculous rents were not a problem.

I agree with the general points made in the video, but it does feel a bit like fear-mongering. It seems designed to stir anxiety and get more clicks rather than offer a balanced view. While the issues are important, the focus should be more on solutions, not just scaring people with worst-case scenarios.
