UKs Most Depressing Towns List - Do You Agree?

Where I am right now living Is on the list and yes I agree. There Is nothing to do here and no where to go.

Our town is not on the list, but it should be, totally depressing, most shops closed, junkies begging everywhere, crime and anti social behaviour out of control

We're not on the list but our town is depressing!! No cinema clubs only salons and take outs.

I was expecting to find the Steel City where I was born n bred & call home on this list too but it isn't...

Can’t read the list unfortunately so can’t tell. Too many ads and jumping about.

My town is on the list the town centre is terrible empty shops

Drug useers look like zombies

Alcohols asking for money

prostitutes trying to sell their bodies

Mine's on it and I agree wholeheartedly, some of the others I had considered lovely places to live.

Glad to see Lancaster and Kendal not on list but that maybe because noone from the smaller population has nominated it!

I agree as here is nothing much here shops closing, anti social problems a bus station that cost over 10million and hardly any buses, nothing for kids tbh

Quite a few places on the list I know including my own home town Yeovil. Yeovil does have a awful run down high street with many empty shops but we are in a low population density area of the UK with easy access to the countryside and beaches and have a good average temperature being so southerly. I actually like Yeovil except the poor high street which is poor compared to how it was 15 years ago. We have all killed the high street with online purchases so it was our choice to do so.

Chard is on the list which is a nearby town to Yeovil at about 15 miles I think. It's only a small town anyway so it was never going to have an amazing high street but I quite like the place.

A lot of cities on that list including England's smallest city which is about 20 miles from Yeovil which is Wells. Wells is a very historic place with the cathedral and many old buildings.

I feel this list is more about people's attitude to complain or perhaps their own personal circumstances rather than where they live to a degree. Also maybe people are simply making the comparison of how it used to be in the past. We are a bankrupt nation heading for a IMF bailout with most of our industry gone and staggering debts. Obviously things are getting worse everywhere with a collapse in public services, increase in crime and general increase in poverty.

I noticed Poole was on the list which is an area I love and if I was moving elsewhere in the UK that would be a strong candidate. Famous for sandbanks where a lot of rich people live it has good infrastructure, lots to do, great beaches in the area. I really think the Poole/Bournemouth area is one of the best places to live in the UK. Close to the New Forest which is amazing too.

I think k Gateshead even with its cinema and large Tesco is not as good as it used to be. Durham has lost a lot of its charm and may improve as new bus station has just opened

I agree and it includes Croydon where I live nearby. Was once trumpeted as the West End south of London and has now deteriorated into a shambles with expensive parking with virtually no shops. It has also become a centre of knife crime. It is such a demoralizing place to go now and I avoid it at all costs

There’s some really nice places on this list. I guess it just shows how different we all are and that we’re all looking for different things

Better "depressing" than crime-ridden. People don't know how good they have it till it's gone.

Mine is so expensive. Nothing to keep people especially youngsters. Jobs are underpaid and price of rents or mortgages are out of their price ranges. There's barely anything to do in jersey

Lots of comments on here about there being no shops. That’s because most of us buy lots of things online. High St shops will be a thing of the past and we need to get used to it.
