A town once famed for its hatmaking and car production plant is hitting the headlines for a somewhat negative reason, after a recent poll named it the 'worst place to live in England'. A whopping 105,598 people voted for Luton in a poll compiled by iLivehere.
Peterborough swerved the unfortunate accolade which Luton - a town which some described as "not easy on the eye" - was crowned as the worst place to reside, in the annual poll, which gives power to the people to make their voices heard. It can be said every place has good, and not so salubrious areas.
However some Luton residents are able to appreciate the reason why their town was top of the undesirable list, reports the Mirror. Reporter Ariane Sohrabi-Shiraz visited Luton to get a first-hand experience of the town and chatted to locals to hear their thoughts about the listing and if they agreed with the recent poll.
