Cardinal Richelieu Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) How the feck did Bo'ness ever get into the 28th "best" place to live out of nearly 7,000 areas? Also, why are the same areas repeated multiple times? Edit: I see areas are split into "Data Zones" ... as you were.

I suppose if you've no house, money, job and live in a crime ridden shit hole you can sit there as you are heating up the spoon for you 8th fix of the day and think to yourself, smashing geographical access btw..

Dunfermline Don Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Where from?Aye, for Rannoch maybe but I am sure Aberfeldy has a few of them. It certainly has a decent chippy,Indian and a few pubs. I can think of some places I have been to way up North that seem more remote. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Was watching Holidaying with Jane McDonald - had the old bint from Birds of a Feather on tour in the Highlands - one of her a stops was Fort William - I was reminded how much of a shithole it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markka Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Worst by Criteria Housing - Part Of Strathbungo, Glasgow's Southside I joke that I probably stay in the worst flat in Strathbungo. Bit concerned now. Hopefully they include Govanhill peasants in the same area when calculating this nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they include Govanhill peasants in the same area when calculating this nonsense. Nope, very specifically the area to the NW of Queens Park (& SE of the railway). That said, the worst housing bit (1/10) seems to be very specific to a bit beside Nithsdale Drive. Queen & Regent Park Square don't seem to fare much more though (2/10) and the roads just north of Titwood (snigger) Road only score 3. The overall rating for the aforementioned aren't actually all that bad though. Mostly in the blue. Eta: I think we've finally sussed out your 'Parts Unknown' location now.
