Never seen that in Hartlepool, you can’t judge a town on statistics, it’s community spirt and a level of happiness and I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else! I question your motive and agenda on these videos.

How "rough" a place feels is usually the difference in inequality between rich and poor, rather than absolute poverty. That's why parts of London, West London especially feel so shitty. The average might be high but gap between rich and poor is huge

@juangomezfuentes8825

2 жыл бұрын

If an area feel shitty is because is shitty, without comparation. Something feel shity if their people are not civic (leaving everything dirty, not taking care of their gardens, not maintaining the front of the house, etc). That has little to do with being rich or poor and a lot about education. I am technically poor and you wont see my grass not cut, rubbish in the road in front of my house, my front door not painted in 20 years and you wont see me going to the Tesco in my pyjamas. That is what makes a road look shitty and has nothing to do with the money. Maybe the rich just pay somebody to do all that stuff, but it is not an excuse for that level of lazyness.

They became retirement enclaves because the housing was cheaper as there is low employment other than in the tourism trade and even that was dying. And it's even worse now as some seaside resorts such as Rhyl are used to dump people straight out of prison because of the cheap accommodation. People quite rightly didn't want to stay in guesthouses with lots of rules and not being able to stay there during the day in bad weather. They either wanted to go abroad with guaranteed sunshine and warm weather or go into self catering accommodation or stay in holiday camps such as Butlins or hotel complexes with leisure facilities and entertainment included in the prices. We opted for self catering accommodation on both the coast and inland and went exploring by car. More freedom with that and you could stay in if the weather was bad or you weren't feeling well.

Even today, those areas lack amenities such that their residents must travel (at some cost) to reach bigger shops with fair prices. I have taken beer in pubs there (east marsh, west marsh has few) and the people are decent, lively and no different from me, apart from the few, that are being drowned in drugs, crime and deep despair.

I’m American. My family originally was probably middle class. Mom usually didn’t work. She did manage to work- but had only one job when my parents were still married. Everything did get more expensive. Dad wasn’t a machinist past 1988. My brother came into the world in January of 1989. We eventually were low class by around 1996. Everyone in my family: my brother and parents, I’m certain just had no choice but to watch as everything only got worse. It has no bearing which: party, job / career or even beliefs you’re raised with or maintain- Poorness, poor people culture and general 2nd rate statuses will always exist. Soldier on, mates. 🇺🇸🤍🇬🇧

I went to Great Yarmouth in 1964 and it was a fantastic place then a real holiday town not smart but bouncing. Unfortunately cheap continental holidays killed it and other British holiday resorts stone dead. I went back there about 20 years ago and I could not believe how much it had changed and went again about 10 years ago and it was even worse. Essentially lost its original purpose as a fishing port so its main business was tourism. Without it the town really has no purpose it's just somewhere people live. In the North East there were coal pits and villages grew up around them to house, serve and entertain the colliery workers. When the collieries shut the village/town had no purpose and several were just bulldozed.

I grew up not far from blurton and lived around the Bucknall area. Local to where I spent my early years in the 80s. On Ruxley road a few houses up from what used to be the Masons Arms (now called the Iron Cot I think) Yes the places arent perfect. Perhaps a little run down in areas. But dispite it all its looks. Its what you make of it yourself. I remember people having each others backs/looking out for neighbours etc. The 'dodgy' ones were known to the community and watched. Statistics are certainly not the be all and end all to define an area. More actual experience being there and living it.

Theres also an issue with a number of a years ago, a flat-out fight was started. For one week, 1000 travelers held up in the area. During this time, a large number of unregulars hit the area and were a law onto themselves, driving off a lot of holiday people.This happened in 2019 and wasn't the first time it had happened. In 2020 there were fears of it happening again with 1500, don't know what happened as I didn't look it up. The town, doesn't have room for that many visitors and the Travellers started a riot in 2019 as it were. This has been going on since at least 1999, and said has caused so much conflict. The result is, if anyone messes with the travellers a lot of places get smashed up. This impacts G.Yarmouth in the long run and has been an issue that has caused the town to spiral downhill since the 90s. The worst bit is, it gives people true fear of travelers and results in people not wanting them. There are good and bad representatives of their group, but this doesn't help. I came from Southend and pretty much every time they broke into somewhere, you can be certain crime went up for the next month they were up and they stole lots of things. This is why they have the reputation to begin with and its now hard to seperate fact from fiction and the good and bad. Often theres stories to tell about these towns no one wants to say. Edit: I remember going there once a year for a day it was decent enough in the 80s and early 90s, it just went downhill after that period.

Born & have Lived in Towers Hamlets my entire life (60 years). Absolutely hate it now. It has lost its character and its soul due to a myriad of reasons I won't go into here.

The poorest areas tend to be those places which were home to a key industry where many of the population was employed, and that industry has since gone but people can't/won't be retrained. Examples are former coal mining towns, places where the steel industry was located, and former tourist hotspots which have become run down because holidaymakers are now able to take a cheap flight to somewhere with less crap weather.

Jaywick was actually built as a holiday resort for commuters, but then World War II started and the holiday homes that were built became occupied permanently after the war, and they were not built for such accommodation. Also, I'm curious to know why you mentioned dollars instead of GBP.

Jaywick is charming located on a beautiful clean beach with mild climate-( the council have an planing development issue with the residents of Jaywick - and thus starved them of support) contrast this to Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria- a really place of social and economic deprivation.

Great Yarmouth: “…and the reason for this poverty is the racism…[what the actual…] ….it is so poor that they have even had to open a food bank.’ Your script has either been written by a 16 year old with no life experience, or someone who lives outside the UK. Mate, most towns and every city in the UK has a food bank, since 2010, so they aren’t a measure of how poor a town is: food banks are a result of 12 years of austerity, dwindling council funds and a Government who has turned its back on the poor.
