Re: 3 New Cities AnnouncedWhy not Exeter, Bristol, Plymouth, Nottingham, Cambridge, Oxford, York, Coventry, Swindon etc???(Original post by Shabalala)
If they keep announcing new cities then there won't be any towns or villages left within 20 years
The only places that should be counted as cities are
London
Glasgow
Edinburgh
Manchester
Liverpool
Newcastle
Birmingham
Leeds
Belfast
Cardiff
Londonderry
Aberdeen
Swansea
Dundee
Sheffield

How about city status for Swindon? Almost 200,000 people. This is an absolute joke. -

Re: 3 New Cities Announcedsorry i know this isnt related to this post or whatever but i really need help in what to pick for my GCSE's im in year nine and ive already selected my options but im not sure if they are good for my future. ive had several people tell me to choose french because im good at it but what advantage does this give me? im still not satisfied with citizenship and i've picked electronics to challence myself. i know most of the people who use this site have already have done their gcse choices so im looking for any valid advice. i would like to have a career in science when im older so i'll need advice for what i should choose that would be good for that field.any suggestions will really help. thank you.

Re: 3 New Cities AnnouncedI think dudley is in birmingham...(Original post by helen-a-ravenclaw)
Northampton is the 3rd largest town.
It goes Reading, Dudley (where the hell is that?) and then Northampton.
Shame, it can't even claim to be the largest town which was the only thing going for it. -

Re: 3 New Cities AnnouncedOh come the **** on.
Reading has a population about the same size as Leicester! It is a city in all but name now.
And if you want to go down the route of historical links triggering eligiblity for city status like the cathedral in St. Asaph, then restore Rochester's city status first FFS. Frankly there are some places too small to be seriously considered a historical or functional city: anywhere with a population of under 25,000 should be automatically disqualified from application.
