That’s right Blackburn w Darwen and Blackpool are the two 14 area UAs. from what I’ve seen on Channel 4, both look bad. However Blackpool is stricken with very high rates of poverty, Blackburn similar - not as much.

Course I know that. If you didn't know, Blackburn and Darwen are separate places... hence the name.

Perfectly aware of that, however that’s not the name. The name is Blackburn With Darwen - both towns come under one local authority and share the same borough council.

West Yorkshire, Huddersfield area I’d say, but then add more northern of that. Some areas of Newcastle and the surrounding area are horrendous. Of course all are the same. Low income areas that use their lack of income to excuse poor behaviour and life choices reinforced by the lack of police engagement who have no power to do anything about these scumbags who bring nothing but misery.

Depends where you go, proper north like Northumberland area is beautiful. But what most people consider the North so like Newcastle areas, such as Cowgate or surrounding towns like North Shields or Meadow Well are horrendous.

I lived in Dennistoun for nearly a year i think in my second year. its the east end so dont expect much. its easier to say which parts of glasgow are nice than not. west end and city centre, Partick, cowcaddens, woodlands, kelvingrove. the rest will make u suffer.
