Default rough parts of your area..?

just thinking this before,with all the cars bought via the net nowadays..

which parts of your area are real no go areas?

like in warrington,cheshire where i live,there are rough areas like longford,dallam. which are places you wouldnt buy a car from.

im sure most places have areas like this and a lot worse in some of the cities-could be handy for some folk buying cars on the net(like me)to know which bits in cities/towns people should be wary of....


should be an interesting read.......

I know what your saying but surely there are nice genuine people who cant afford to live in a good area and some right rich scum living in big houses that will shaft you in an instant

There are plenty of genuinely nice people who live in rough areas, you just gotta go off face value really.

im not saying everyone in rough areas are bad and everyone in good areas are good.

i was just wondering what areas are traditionally rough?

ive been to some places to collect cars and thought" shit !" and then the car/seller have been great.

im just curious.....

like when you watch things like car wars on telly-is slough a really bad area,or not?

Leeds has loads. Halton Moor, Seacroft, Osmondthorpe, Burmantofts (Little Afghanistan), Gipton (Home of Channel 4's "The Nick" some years ago), Chapeltown, Holbeck (don't drive too slowly through there or the coppers will pull you over), Belle Isle, Middleton isnt too clever in parts

Bradford - Bierley, Holme Wood (the home of the stripy jumper and a load of gippos), Buttershaw

No real bad areas over here which is part of the reason my parents moved over here.

Where we used to live in Waterlooville has gone to the dogs now...
