Its offical

Well its been known in these parts for sometime now and as been the base of many jokes im sure. Today it as been announced that Burnley is a rubbish town.

Council Leaders Anger At Burnleys Worst 20 Listing (from Lancashire Telegraph)

Just been looking at some of the "good" point about burnley...

"The people's humour, friendliness and honesty"
Thats a joke in itself

"Burnley Football Club"
Id keep hush hush on that if i was him

"Burnley town centre - shops and buzzing nightlife"
Buzzin nightlife? Even the Council leaders sound like chavs!

A burnley council leader, yesterday.

Re: Its offical

There are places higher on the list than Burnley though. Blackpool and lots of London boroughs and Manchester are on there.

It was news yesterday morning, taken you long enough to post it up here :)

If it was a serious discussion I might have commented further but the juvenile comments & picture say enough on this thread for me :rolleyes:

"Yes the borough has challenges, but we are meeting up to those challenges. Almost a £1billion pound of investment is transforming the borough, from new schools and new houses, to exciting plans to redevelop the town centre.

Money can't fix everything. Maybe they need to look at themselves again after this and reassess the area.

To be fair there are some nice parts ive seen like Todmorden Rd and the rosehill area. But they are out gunned by the bad areas and its them that stick in peoples minds.

Re: Its offical

I like the idea of Londen taking up a 1/4 of the list. I cant wait to see what cock n bull they come up with for it and what they will do to correct it. Kenny Livi will be pulling his hair out. Burnley isnt too bad compared to some. If it had been UK wide instead of England and Wales Burnley wouldnt be in the top 20.
