Lancashire I know quite well, as you may know, Lancs towns can be quite bad, Burnley has a bad reputation. So yes some towns can be as bad as cities but I don't think any towns round here are as bad as Coventry bad bits, which are nowhere near as bad as Birminghams
Yes you're right Drugs, violence and poverty are most certainly not isolated to cities, Atherstone, Coleshill, Nuneaton, Bedworth all have problems, but because it's not a city and there's less people here there's less of a problem.

I don't think it's generalisation (grrr @ american isations) I think it's fact but you notice it less at your kids have more of a chance if you live in a nice area.

Shizara what do you think of Nuneaton?.
Burnley. Ugh. What a depressing place.

According to a report in the Coventry Telegraph last night, a fair number of people are moving into Coventry from Warwickshire due to the high house prices. There are still some relatively affordable areas in Coventry.
