Rubbish TownsI once went to Basildon. It was closed, I got chased by a bunch of knuckle-dragged yobs until I was lost in a maze of concrete alleyways and got food poisoning off pie. Tell us about the awful places you've visited or have your home.
Thanks to SpankyHanky for the suggestion

Burnleymy brother invested in about a dozen properties up there - went with him to sort out a knackered back door, oh my fucking life, I've never wanted to leave a town so quickly.
makes the estate in shameless look like dubai.
edit: and I've just noticed all the previous mentions. though it's ghastly shitness requires this to raise awareness, surely...!

Burnley...Burnley [place of my birth] really came off the worst out of itself, Accrington and Blackburn. Nelson's not so goo either. The latter three are post-Industrial towns with lots of derelict Mills and little in the way of redevelopment.
I studied at College in Burnley for 2 years towards the end of the 80's and the racial problems clearly visible there then, have simply got worse. Race Riots and Nick Griffin do nothing for the town's charisma.
Avoid the other places listed also!
