The redundant journalists from the Daily Sport must've joined the telegraph

NEXT

Old news, must be a slow day in Birchwood Palace.

read the report its been around years....

its Warrington 'the council' compared to other regional councils. its not like an up market version of the "Crap Towns" book

so before some 'end comes on from Widnes, widnes doesnt even appear on the list because its part of Halton council

and its all about red and green flags and for some reason we had 3 red flags.
On the whole the three flags were for nothing majorly wrong with the town although the childcare red flag was a concern.... but 3 red flags was the most anyone recieved.

but leicester gets red flagged for a rise in violent crime
while Suffolk gets a Green flag for tackling on street prostitution....!!!
they sound so appealing anyone moving there?

apparently hull is the worst town to live in

So places like Oldham, Rochdale, Blackburn, Burnley, Nelson, Accrington, Bury, Bradford, Huddersfield, Dewsbury, Middlesbrough, Luton, Leicester, Wolverhampton, Stoke on Trent, Hull are better places to live. Hmmm not too sure about that.

It's areas such as birchwood that brings the good name of Wazza down!

Of course it is!!

Didn't realise the report was 2 years old to be honest. Didn't really read it properly

And at the same time as this was out I remember some of the business pages saying that Warrington was the second most successful town in the UK (behind Worthing). In my usual simplistic 2+2 way, put these two together and it seems that success cannot get you a decent quality of life OR................................. all statistics are bo##ocks that can be used to "prove" anything. I even remember my old maths teacher using them to prove that 2=1.

Statistics show that 6 out of 7 dwarves aren't happy.

or grumpy...see I always look for positives

Surely a case for the local MPs to tackle.

There should be an argument for transfer revenues from more affluent areas for regeneration. Why don't they divert some of the money thats being wasted in places like Salford and Liverpool who have fancy dockside developments, to areas which really need it like Warrington?

I like Warrington, live in Orford and its okay lol.

Most of the town is okay but theres a few places that drag the town down....Parts of Oakwood. Dallam, Parts of Orford, Bewsey etc

And there are also parts of Warrington that still retain an element of "community"....parts of Dallam, Parts of Orford, Bewsey as opposed to the affluent but "cant give a damn about your neighbours" areas of parts of Appleton, parts of Walton, parts of Stockton Heath.

Which gives a better sense of well being, a hard-working, working class person from Bewsey or a family money never did a hard days work in your life person from Walton. People don't drag parts of towns down, media reporting, social deprivation and CRAP SURVEYS drag parts of town down.

Excuse me, but why have people from Walton (as you quoted, and you probably include Stockton Heath / Grappenhall / Appleton )never done a hard days work in their life?

Surely, they've had to work hard, to afford their mortgages, etc. Or are you another working class warrior, with a chip on your shoulder against anyone who's actually got off their ar5es, and done better for themselves.

If you live in a town or city, w herever you live in the UK or possibly anywhere in the world you are never more than 5 miles from a dump

Get rid of the Eastern Europeans, that'll solve everything.

Its not the Eastern Europeans who are wanting to put Muslamic law over our country.

But they have their own 'wall' in Tesco, a wall which should be used instead for a traditional British pizza deli counter.

this statement reminds me of a tv interview i watched with a rather bright EDL member during the recent march in blackburn i think it was! pmsl

Which means you must have googled it with the express purpose of putting it on here for banter, using the fact that the presumably live in the town as some sort of cover. You should get yourself a hobby.

Working class from Bewsey originally who got off his ar5e and got a professional qualification and has worked all his adult life doing what people would often regard as a middle class professional so no chip on the shoulder here.

I know 2 or 3 people from the South Warrington area who are completely obnoxious in attitude because they think they are better than everybody else because their family had money previously and it got handed down to them and they have not needed to work.

Given these two sets of facts, am I the lesser person because of where I was born?

Forgive me for generalising (although I did say A family money etc etc PERSON...but PEOPLE (plural).....but surely thats what everybody else seems to have done so far.
