I recently saw some random post on Twitter which had listed the worst towns in England. I have no idea what the criteria was for deciding, but I found it interesting. The UK has a long tradition of a fascination with "Crap Towns"
In 2019 the Mirror listed England's Top Ten crap towns as this: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/britains-top-10-crap-towns-14031127
I wondered if Yellows Forum could provide a better, more well-thought out list, of the crappest towns in England. After much debate we can crown the "Yellows Forum 2022 Crap Towns top 10", few people visit more crap towns than lower league football supporters after all.
I will throw my list of crap towns/cities into the hat.
1. Burslem
2. Gillingham
3. Oldham
4. Reading
5. Southampton
6. Boston
7. Morecambe
8. Bournemouth
9. Huddersfield
10. Swindon
I expect my list would look different if I had visited places like Luton or Coventry.
