Broaden your horizons man! Oh he was out yesterday, the shadow boxer. Fighting what looked like a JD Sports bag with a shoe box in it, opposite The Auctioneer. I can't imagine any other city centre in the country being worse- and hard to believe that people used to visit Hanley from all over the UK for the nightlife in the 90s and early 00s. God knows what a visitor from outside SOT would make of it. I said this the other day, I genuinely think we should be stripped of our city status if that's a thing? It's just an alliance of six shit towns. Wolverhampton city centre puts Hanley to shame.

Bloody WALSALL puts our city centre to shame, Walsall has numerous security staff wandering around in twos ✅ Plenty of OAP’s in town (usually a sign it’s regarded as safe ✅ A number of chain shops & independent shops ✅

Hanley bad....Longton has died a horrible death & for someone who visits when back to see family, it makes my heart sink Wow. I went to Longton last Sunday for "Raves of Longton". Great gig but omg what has happened to Longton? My first job was there in the 80's and it was a bustling town centre back then. Now its TOTALLY dead and full of drug addicts. I stayed at The Crown say no more. I wont be going back.

People are scared to shop there, crime has gone up in the town aswell

Might be worth a trip to the doctors, you’ve probably contracted a new virus that’s been circulating there, like longton’s version of the Wuhan wet market but for drugs and stds.

I really don't think we should be laughing or joking about it tbh. Hanley is the result of 40 odd years of neglect. I've just been for the first time in years and it's truly sad to see what has become. The actual town centre is bad enough but compared to the outskirts looks like a metropolis.
I doubt there are any plans to fix it up. It'll just continue to crumble.

Born & Bred there....and what sums up Longton is the empty decaying hulk of Woolworths that apart from being a marajuana growing centre has become nothing. Schooling there, 1st job there, pubs & pints (and clubbing...) there but now just faded memories. A precinct that had shops with variety, where you did feel safe walking to and from one side to another. The thing is you could cut & paste this description for a whole lot more places and it wouldn't look out of place.
