I Visit 'NO-GO' Zone in UK's Worst City To Live - Peterborough

- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- Peterborough has been voted amongst the Worst Places to live in the UK for many years now, this ancient cathedral city holds some of the highest crime statistics for any UK city. As we explored the city and residential areas of Peterborough including the notorious 'NO-GO' Zone and 'Red Light' area of Peterborough - Lincoln road, by day and night. I was Shocked to see so many abandoned places, Homelessness, Crime and Poverty on the streets of this UK City. #britain #uk #poverty #crime #england #reallife #Peterborough #nogozone #onthestreet #depression #homeless #abandonedplaces
Peterborough has been rocked by negative headlines for years, I headed to Peterborough to find out for myself whether the bleak reputation portrayed by the media was warranted... What I found truly shocked me, the crime rates where some of the highest in the UK. One area of Peterborough that I visited (Millfield Area) had 524 street level crimes (reported) last month! 206 of those were violent crimes...This notorious area of the UK is often labelled a NO-GO Zone by locals and journalists alike. I headed to this notorious crime ridden, red light district at night to gain a full understanding of how the people of Peterborough feel living in the Worst Place to live in the UK.
A quick google search of the Millfield area & Lincoln road in Peterborough will overwhelm you with negative headlines! The amount of crime, poverty and deprivation to be found in this small corner of the City is shocking. Peterborough City Centre is filled with beautiful medieval buildings however once you enter the outer areas of Peterborough the feeling quickly changes.

I used to live there for a couple of years. It’s bad. The street you were walking - groups of 6 (man/kids) just randomly stand outside the off license shops like hookers in Dam. No one respects the street signs and everybody just acts like in a zoo. Istanbul grill is the bomb though so you kinda get used to it. Never had a problem and I was always on my own.
Yes the groups of blokes outside every other takeaway! Big groups too! Mental place. Thanks for watching and the comment 👍 I think people think it's dramatised but they have no idea!
@@JoefishJ I was raised there, it is a shithole I moved out 2010 and never looked back
Absolutely right
Some men standing outside somewhere makes a city so bad lol. I live in Peterborough. It can be bad but there’s way worse places than Peterborough
@@matthewcohman1171 honestly, every review of Peterborough on RUclips (that I've seen while scrolling, there may be nicer ones..lol) is of Lincoln Road and/or Millfield only. As if one area, just off town represents the whole of the city 🙄. Not that I think Peterborough is great lol, but it's not that bad, and there's much more to it than Lincoln Road and Milfield
It is not the all Peterborough people that made it a bad place , It is a mix of Drug addicts /dealers and people from overseas . It was a wonderful place to live and I should know.
People make places.Wrong people and the place turns to shit.Thats what ive found.
Happens everywhere unfortunately. Thanks for watching and the comment
When the wrong people pour into a country the country turns to shit. Not just Peterborough
Some of us know what the real problem is and we can see this problem in the video.
@@Tony11806 Indeed tony.But i cant say the truth as i keep getting shadow banned.Which also is a joke,when its the bloody truth!.
@@Tony11806so u must know what the real problem is in hordon, western supermare, Sunderland and Rhyl too then aswell ?
I grew up in Peterborough before the immigration influx. Millfield and the Lincoln Rd area was always home to the Asian community which wasn’t that bad, until the Council / Housing associations decided to house Eastern Europeans there too. This is where the troubles come from.
I have escaped PTown now but every time I go back it seems to have declined somewhat!
Bs
I'd take eastern Europeans over Muslims every day.
Let’s face it it’s all over the country. This is what our country has become unfortunately.
Sad to see! Thanks for watching and the comment. I hope you enjoy the rest of the content

Not all of it. Still plenty of nice places.
Yikes I guess I'll visit Wales lol
I go to Peterborough every now and then, usually as a busker, or for other music events or to catch a train to somewhere north. I’ve worked in the city centre late at night, attended events and workshops at Millfield Community Centre and walked from one end of the huge, dark station car park where it always sounds like there’s a nightingale singing after getting off a train late at night. Like every city it has its share of problems, but I’ve never felt threatened there any more than anywhere else.
I can remember when Peterborough was a nice place but years of mass immigration and the foreign invasion and failed multicultural project shows the country how disastrous uncontrolled immigration is
Shuddup ya daft racist..
Riiiight..immigration has made Peterborough a lot worse… even though its 90% white..and overwhelmingly british..
@@shotlikka words ov reason spoken by a good person...awesome mate..
Came here to see the bigotry, was not disappointed.
*Blames a 90% white city's desolation on 10% immigrants
The nightclubs have been either shut down or burned down ( insurance job ) where I live. The local paper recently said, that s particular nightclub was shutting due to lack of students coming to the area, and yet there are more buildings going up for “ more students “ apparently….but we all know the real reason this country is building more houses like crazy
Thanks for watching and the comment. Common sight across the country. Thanks for watching and the comment

In Birmingham I forget the long road it’s a total no go zone to whites after 6pm . The guy who told me as I was working in Chesterfield told me this as he was obviously from Birmingham, he was in his late 50s getting said he will never go back and he said it was enforced by Muslim gangs ! I myself had this in Firvale in Sheffield whilst working there in the day ! The country has gone . I imagine lots in London , Manchester the list goes on . government past and present well done hope your happy
The fact that Muslims have the power to control the British in their own country
Soho Benson. It's an absolute shit hole day or night.
@@mikej365The guy said another named Road so more than that one ffs this country is shite
I'm white and I can walk after 6pm all fine for me in Lincoln road
Alam rock road
Stratford road
Peterborough and Lincoln Road was fine up until the 2000s (lived in Peterborough from 1974) Used to spend a lot of time down there in pubs, shops (anyone remember AnB records?), my brother was murdered on Rhubarb Bridge in 98 and i left Peterborough in 2012.
My parents and sister still live there and so do my children and friends. When i go back like i do a few times a year, it just looks horrible in certain areas.
One of the most bizarre incidents by the then council was when they housed Iraqi (iirc) immigrants in the Gladstone Strret area and there were riots because the locals in that area did not get on with that certain group.
The council had no idea and just decided that is where they would be housed and meant houses were set on fire and there was trouble. The local paper reported on it all at the time.
Everything about it is depressing even night time and even daytime whenever jts sunny your so lucky you escaped
i live here for 25 years and he just dramattizzing normal life here in pborough welland dogstorpe bretton and westwood are worse than millfield by a mile away..he makin drama 4 views dont take me wrong i like what he doing showing what uk is really but he was let down here bad localy info ..agree last 10 years whole uk down toilet ...poverty drugs homelessness u name it ...
Ive noticed where i live that you get stared at when out and about, Its like we should not be in our own town
Thanks for watching and the comment
It's like that in every English market town that's been " enriched ".
I bet its the same in whole europe, im from sweden and our town Oskarshamn were booming from the middle of 1800s to 1990s but then everything got abandoned, the only thing that is working here now is the Scania factory and SAFT battery factory, then just some stores, half the town is abandoned and depressing, me and my gf are moving to a village nearby because its too boring and depressing here, i dont want my kids to grow up in this shithole, its very important to have beautiful surroundings with nature, the industrial abandoned shit makes you so unhappy. And criminality is rising too, a disabled guy got robbed and brutaly murdered outside my work, i came to work just hours after he got murdered and i still can see that pool of blood in my mind, we have had many more murders around here, my neighbor got robbed 3 months ago and much more shit, The far right is rising in scandinavia too, i dont blame the people but our government havent done anything for years.
Thanks for watching and the comment! Seems to be happening in a lot of places!
A Far Right Revolution is inevitable and exactly what is needed in these social circumstances.....As Sir Isaac Newton said...."For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction".....The Far Left are going to have to lay in the PC Wokemaniac beds they have made for themselves.

Is it the far right attacking/murdering people in the street?
I have the misfortune of living in Peterborough. Moved here in 1989 - it felt like a proper, bustling, affluent place with loads of decent pubs, clubs, no hassle, decent shopping, loads of businesses in town etc, much like most towns and cities back then. There has always been a foreign population, particularly Italian, Indian and Pakistani people with no underlying issues to speak of. We suffered huge volumes of immigration from all manner of countries, and with it the world’s problems. Criminal gangs, people on the fiddle, unemployed, homeless, compounded by a general breakdown in our own society with crap parenting and everything that goes with it. If you walk around the cycle path there is fly tipping everywhere, general litter. People don’t care for their properties. Flats and HMO’s everywhere. The city centre has been dying for years, compounded by COVID and now it’s just £1 shops, charity shops, takeaways, 2nd hand electrical shops, boarded buildings and doorways that house the homeless, alcoholic’s and drug takers. It reflects the majority of towns and cities across the country - I travel on business all over and it’s the same story with the same reasons. Country is lawless - political parties are complicit in the countries downfall. The end.
Normally Cathedral Cities are among the nicest in England. It’s no coincidence that the trashing of the city from the 60’s on coincided with the downward spiral. Town planners /architects in post war England and including our era , were /are a total failure, their lauded “brave new world” turned into a “Clockwork Orange” type dystopia.
Yes it's the London/Scottish overspill that started the decline and the Asian, African and Eastern European immigration that ruined it.
Certainly scared of shadows. Places are certainly run down by the lack of government funding. Alcohol and drugs are a big issue. Good and bad in any town or centre. The city council has been underfunded for years. Having many takeaways doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing. The poor quality of jobs and pay is an issue around the UK .
My 17 year old nephew got jumped by 3 guys(non-Peterborough) early evening. Stiches in back of head and concussion!
So sad how it has gone, Cathedral is amazing.
Another great vid, subs still climbing. Well Done!
I hope you`re going to track them down......revenge is sweet my friend.
Wow sorry to hear that! It certainly felt that way. Thanks for watching and the comment
Only 17, doing alrigtht now. Think his mum was more upset!@@JoefishJ
You know what hun, most of those shops and takeaways are foreign. It actually shows the majority of people who live there.
Your reasoning is impeccable man.
Send them back
Or the minority who have driven the indigenous majority out.
@@symon3304 we need to fight back
This country is in serious need of rehabilitation, I hope this situation replicated in so many places , doesn't usher in a further neglect, polarization and hoplessness. Noone is an island. Many people who live in deprived areas are good people doing the best they can. And drug habits are not confined to the poorest in society . Its hidden from view. So time to work together I think and push for positive change, the alternative is bleak. Thanks Joe👍
Thanks for the comment and for watching! Sad times indeed! Hope you enjoy the upcoming content
Yes I think you mean deportations my friend.

Just laughable to think Peterborough is the worst place to live . No comparison to the deprivation of many towns and cities .
That so called no go area would be considered middle class in the real deprived places.
Have to agree with this comment, up north there many areas with worse areas, parts of Liverpool, Burnley, etc come to mind. This video started off ok. But then got a bit silly, you walked through a council estate in the daytime, whats the problem?? Where there gains of yobs chasing you away? No did not see anyone. No different to any other estate. Then the road in the day, it has a subway on it and a co-op funeral directors! If the people working at these places, felt, 'so unsafe', they would not even be there. This road is 10 a penny in 50% of London. Spotter looking at you, I did not see him. Try pointing the camera forward as opposed to looking at your face. Else one would presume your exaggerating to point to making stuff up innit brov!
Agreed. I'm from Peterborough and now live in the Finsbury Park area of London. That New England part of Peterborough would be a completely normal part of London. People just panic when they don't see white people 😅
@@_Shadbolt_ Rubbish.
Middle class ? Lmao. Have a walk down there. It's hell on earth.
@@james1658 All bad areas have businesses on them. My sister lived in Camberwell and it was a lot cleaner than Peterborough. Pboro is terrible.
We did a long term job in Peterborough 2022-2023 - always liked the place and never had a problem. Like everywhere, it has some downsides, but also plenty of positives. Great architecture and history, beautiful Lido in City Centre for summer swimming. Good restaurants etc. This video is looking for the problems from the start.
I agree the cathedral square area is stunning however the estates surrounding Peterborough are sketchy for sure. All the locals in the comments agree, I guess if your working in the centre and staying near by it's ok? Thanks for watching and the comment
Not only that, but I am getting alpha male vibes. Plus, I imagine you went out with your big burly mates. Scary for the rest of us, but wow, for Mr butch here, "what's the problem"? It's meatheads like this that give meatheads a bad name. So we open ourselves up to the possibility of getting stabbed just so that we don't disappoint Mr Alpha. Narcissist much? In case there is any confusion I would being sheeeeeting my pants in that situation. I grew up on a council estate back in the 70s and 80s, I knew how to handle myself. The degenerates of my day (me included) are not the same as those of today. The bible talks about the wicked going from bad to worse. As I have witnessed three further generations I have witnessed this to be true.@@JoefishJ
All... 😂.. false comments and I don't know how you got your stats.. ridiculous pair of foolish vloggers .. scared 😂
Try visited a lot of the estates. Terrible.
a long term job means you are/were working... architecture and history doesn't mean much to those living in poverty or areas with high unemployment unfortunately
Ben bottled it in his video, don’t blame him 😂. Good on you for getting some footage at night! 😂
He was with me the whole time, it was a super sketchy place. Tons we couldn't film for obvious reason, if I did you would understand! Thanks for watching and the comment mate really appreciate it
Borough is awful, a hellish dumping ground! It's sad, I used to go regularly as a kid during the 90s... Urban decay is a huge understatement!!
Really shocked me to be honest. Thanks for watching and the comment

It's been brought on in 10 years by bad governance and uncontrolled immigration
Mainly due to uncontrolled immigration.

I lived in Peterborough for 45 years .Used to be a great place growing up with so many good memories. Was 10 pubs down Lincoln road used to be a great pub crawl into town back in the day think there is only the crown left there now ? I visit Peterborough 4 times a year to see my mum and mates who still live there BUT notice a change everytime i go there not for the better. Went to see a mate last time got a taxi to his told the drive lincoln road please he pulled up around the corner said to dangerous to let you out there :O what has the city become that i grew up and loved as a boy .
@johngoddard4459 Ah... The infamous “Crown to town” was attempted by many, achieved by few back in the day!!! (And anybody that made it to town was usually too wasted to get into any of the great clubs anyway 😂). I grew up in the area but moved away in my mid 20’s, 25 years ago. Peterborough was great back then. Fantastic shopping, buzzing nightlife, not to mention the Lido in the summer holidays!!! Crime was low, and we’d feel perfectly safe walking round the city centre as teenagers. I too go to visit family occasionally, and it’s so sad to see what Peterborough has become. Everybody local knows the reason for its demise, but I’ll let other people make there own conclusions. 😢
Those crime stats are shocking!!! My daughter's a copper in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, which is generally considered the roughest town in Derbyshire (outside Derby city). In January 2024, there were 61 crimes, 26 of which were violent or sexual offences. And the figures here are just for ONE estate!!!!!
I know that really puts it into perspective. I suspect alot happens that doesn't get reported too. Thanks for watching and the comment. I hope you enjoy the content
I grew up near Millfield. Peterborough was my Dads home town and he was saddened by its decline having been born there and died there end of last year. I got away in the 70's to Bristol then Devon and finally ending up near Lands End. Maybe I wanted to distance myself from it? 😉
Yes I don't blame you. Shocking. Thanks for watching and the comment

Great video Joe. Peterborough Cathedral is beautiful! What a contrast to the following scenes! 😅
Thanks mate I couldn't show barely anything I recorded on RUclips... It was super Sketchy! Catch you soon mate 🙏👍
Go to Peterborough quite often, my family lives slightly outer peterborough in a village...I enjoy going to the city as you say its quite deceiving, always visit the cathedral grounds as its a nice visit in the summer. But I do hear alot of stories from family about how much it has degraded over the years...I've heard criminals from London are relocated here now but not sure how much truth there is to it...but that may be reason
Thanks for the comment, yes definitely on the surface a beautiful city. However like most places the underbelly doesn't always match.
It went downhill massively after the Iraq war when immigrants were being put in rented accommodation and private landlords started cashing in big time and this was 2005.
I lived in Whitsed Street from 92-06 and although it wasn't the greatest area, that street had a sense of community and everyone got on and the nags head pub at the end was a good old fashioned pub in the houses too. There were even the parents of a premier league footballer that lived down there who were lovely people, but within 2 years from 04-06 it all changed.
Once the buy to let's started happening, those that had lived there for years, myself included, sold up and moved away.
Such a shame but it's a lot worse now and the last time I drove down there was a couple of years ago to show my son the first house he lived in.
Fair play to you lads. Bit tricky that little manor. 😎

Used to love going to Peterborough during the 1980s, Me uncle lived on Lincoln road across from the Peter Brotherhood chimney in Walton, used to love riding into the city centre with my cousin on our BMX bikes, used to go to a larl bakery for tasty cream cakes and bottles of Corona Limeade that was down the road from my uncles house, think it's a Polish food shop now, we used to walk into town on an evening my 2 cousins my mother and myself with no problem what so ever, It breaks my heart to this once great place turned into the shit hole it has become due to Diversity and uncontrolled immigration.
What a shame. All those beautiful buildings! 😢
Not surprised you were viewed as being suspicious walking around with a camera. I returned to the Millfield area last year, having first visited over 55 years ago and it’s certainly changed for the worse. However, I’ve lived in various cities where such areas exist and I don’t think Peterborough’s the worst.
Great content Joe top man🤙🏻
Glad you enjoyed it thanks for watching
Its a very odd place. I walked around it a few times about 10 years ago looking at cheap houses as someehwere cheap to relocate to...even in the day time there were some very rough sights and people.... It felt to me like a prime example of a potentially quite pretty place could be turned to crap....glad i never moved there in the end.
A lucky escape! Thanks for watching and the comment. I hope you enjoy the content
I was in Peterborough a few days before, I thought it wasn't actually that bad!
Once you leave city centre it changes!
@@JoefishJ I was staying in the travel lodge across from the abandoned nightclubs, If I knew you guys were going to be around would have stayed about !
The juxtaposition of it being such a beautiful city with such horrible issues is just mind blowing.
Live in Peterborough and it reminds me of parts of south London… especially Lincoln Road and Millfield after hours. Never felt threatened there and people largely mind their business.
I think you’re overreacting a bit, and the unwelcome stares are probably because you’re walking with a camera. Don’t forget that a lot of businesses down there are illegitimate.
Turd Island looks more and more like the US now, but even more depressing with vandalised environments and shit weather.
I used to live near and tbh its not as bad as boston thats not too far away from there and its worse than here by far, been to both.
Peterborough is no different to any other place of the same size outside the south-east. Economically, a bit of levelling up would help. This hit squad that visited the city made things out as worse than they are, and forgot to visit the good things going on in the city (E.g., Peterborough United, the theatres, Ferry Meadows, the nice affordable housing, Etc.). And they weren’t attacked ,as I never have been, in the places they made out to be dangerous. This vid sets out shock when there really is nothing to be shocked about, certainly in comparison with other cities. Possibly, the hit squad are into drugs because certainly seem to be able to sniff then out. One thing about Peterborough, it is a heavily multicultural city and yet there is no interracial strife. Peterborough folk live and let live.
As you move away from the city centre it indeed changes, like many youtubers before you got were every ones knows that the trouble is and missed the oportunity to see Nene Park and the newer neighborhoods like Hamton as that will not bring you even a fraction of views you need for the chanel to grow.
England is like a toilet
It's certainly not great in parts!
I’m currently staying off this road and it’s perfectly fine and if you speak to people and say hello they are very pleasant
Isn't this city the place where immigrants were killing and eating swans?

You can't paint a full picture of a city if you don't actually explore the whole place. This is pretty biased as you only really went to the most deprived places in Peterborough. Why didn't you show places like our Theatres, the river Nene, Fletton Quays, Peterborough United, Ferrymeadows, Flag Fen, Charters, Brewery Tap, Longthorpe Tower, Thorpe Hall, the rowing lakes, Central Park, Hampton Beach and Gardens?? Why only show the worst places, you really don't get a true representation of a place if your only goal is just to go to the worst parts and show that. Everywhere especially city's in the UK have places like Lincoln Road and Milfield, yes they have problems around there but so does every place in the UK. As you rightly pointed out, our Cathedral is stunning, our city centre's architecture is rather nice, so at least there were a few positives. But next time you come to Peterborough please show the nice areas as most of the city is an alright place. It's really not as bad as you guy's are stating!
I've been around and there's very few places that compare with Peterborough and specifically Lincoln road at night. I lived in down town Playa Del Carmen (cartel country) and felt safer.
It's not just Millfield that is bad. What about Eastgate, Eastfield, Welland, Orton Goldhay, Orton Malbourne, Bretton, Westwood, Ravensthorpe, Paston, New England ? Most of the city is not an ' alright place'.
Joe! Look at your subscribers! YAY!! Congrats! Jen
Hey Jen 👋 I know! So crazy. Thanks for the support from the beginning. 🙏
Peterborough council is bankrupt. What is going to happen when governments cannot chuck money at places like this.
Just moved from Peterborough to Devon about 5 months ago and 20 years ago I would have missed it and the night life was amazing but hate it now and lived there all my life, don't miss it and it's just absolutely rubbish there.. Ruined :( ..
Well at least your in a good spot now. Thanks for watching and the comment hope you enjoy the content
Homeless, drug users are hard to spot in the city centre .
For Stevie Wonder maybe...
@JoefishJ I live in spalding and visit Peterborough twice a week at least. Peterborough isn't as bad as painted and there are many far worse places. Lincoln Road has always , abdxI mean always been bad. 30 years ago Lincoln Road Peterborough was cited by Government as one of the five most impoverished roads /areas in England . [NOT UK]
Dude just walked around Cincinnati, Ohio and thought no one would notice
Thanks for watching and the comment. Hopefully see the USA for myself soon.
With its magnificent cathedral and other historic buildings, it’s a shame the rest of the place has gone to pot.
Totally agree a stunning cathedral! Thanks for watching and the comment
Really like your vlogs only recently come across your channel some teally horrible places
Glad you enjoy the channel and the content 🙏👍
My friend I live in Peterborough for 10 years now lovely place Lincoln road fun place walk at night no problems
Not as bad as Ilford… You genuinely may not be able to go there… You’d more than likely have active contact,
Active contact 😂 military speak? Thanks for watching and the comment.
The local radio station is heroine fm,seriously
Hereward?
@@markcoleman900 no heroine with an e
I dont live in peterborough but ive worked there a lot of the past 8 years and i would say the homelessness seemed to have been reduced some way or another, i used to see a lot of tents in the numerous tree belts across the suburbs but this year i havent seen any.
i really like your channel . your honesty, reporting and respect for the area you are in
🙏 thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate the support thank you!
I’m in London for a week and was hoping to see the Cathedral there. As a woman traveling solo, I’ve decided to pass. Sad..
A real shame! Thanks for watching and the comment. I hope you get to visit a nice Cathedral somewhere.
I’ll give you a free tour of my city Peterborough, let me know if this is of interest
Nice to meet you guys! All the best with the channel Joe.
Thanks fellas the interview was great however my camera in low light caused the whole thing to become a blur! Next time mate! Thanks again
You're welcome mate, it was a good experience. No worries at all!
Unfortunately millfield alot of cons than pros but you will not find an empty shop on that strip.
The locals have tried working with the police to tackle crime Unfortunately its always empty words.
Most group of men i agree not a great sight as a local you know all they are doing is having a beer and eating sunflower seeds.
The deprivation of the city people can blame immigration Unfortunately the council is to be blamed for that.
If Scunthorpe was a city it would be featured on this channel but it is a only a town
Soon!! Thanks for watching and the comment. You'll see Scunthorpe on here soon.
What has happened to our towns and our people ??…What on earth is happening to our country…it’s getting like a third world country….WHY IS THIS HAPPENING I REALLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND……I want to cry…..I am so glad I am not bringing up young children….THEY DONT STAND A CHANCE
Migrants
Joe Fish new to your channel. Very interesting. I only go to Peterborough for the annual Beer 🍺 festival. I don't know were some people are saying that Peterborough is 90% White or English. I struggled to find anybody who could speak English! Locals have always warned me about Lincoln road. Unfortunately this is going on in all are major towns and cities. We are seeing the joys of Multiculturalism! I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

Romans 6.23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

yeah its a bit rough defiantly worse at night.
Sad to see. I grew up in south London, and moved to town just outside Peterborough to essentially escape the path I was going down.
Now it looks like where I left, Croydon 🙁
I hear my old home Spalding is doing bad
Sad times! Thanks for watching and the comment. I hope you enjoy the content
North London, and it is the same… it was not great when I was growing up but it gone down hill like a lemming of a cliff.
I work in Spalding, it's absolutely fine!
@@housinauthority5258 I'm aware of people being set on fire at the tulip festival. That is not "fine"
You can not compare Croydon to Peterborough no way I lived in Kennington and when I tell you Peterborough is nothing like South London at all😂
Even back in the early 70s I used to call Leicester (domino city) white spots on a black background, now it's all our cities.
I remember going to London from Edinburgh in the 80’s on the then LNER main line and hated when the train had to stop at Peterborough station. Why should a place be so uncomfortable 🥹
Yes agreed a definite feeling in the air. Thanks for watching and the comment. I hope you enjoy the content
I was there last week. Locals call Millfield bandit country
Genuinely a scary place to be at night! Thanks for watching
Ethnic gangs? The Kurds, the Chechens, the Romanian gypsies, the Albanians, the Sicyllians , the Nigerians??
Diversity hit Peterborough, then?
I used to live down Lincoln road until a couple of years ago I never had any problems then, I used to walk out at night and go to the shops all the time, down towards town is definitely more dodgy though , we came back for a weekend recently and went to a pub in town, it was a total state and we didn’t feel entirely safe when we were out ,
Shocking scenes there now! Thanks for watching and the comment
12:20 that underpass was where a teenager was murdered
Not surprised! Sad to hear. Thanks for watching
UK urban decay can include the following aspects:
Industrialisation
Deindustrialization
Gentrification
Population decline or overpopulation
Counterurbanization
Economic restructuring
Abandoned buildings or infrastructure
High local unemployment
Increased poverty
Fragmented families
Low overall living standards or quality of life
Political disenfranchisement
Crime (e.g., gang activity, corruption, and drug-related crime)
Large and/or less regulated populations of urban wildlife (e.g., abandoned pets, feral animals, and semi-feral animals)
Elevated levels of pollution (e.g., air pollution, noise pollution, water pollution, and light pollution)
Desolate cityscape known as greyfield land or urban prairie.
Since the 1970s and 1980s, UK urban decay has been a phenomenon associated with some towns, especially in many parts of the UK. Cities have experienced population flights to the suburbs and exurb commuter towns; often in the form of white flight. Another characteristic of urban decay is blight - the visual, psychological, and physical effects of living among empty lots, buildings, and condemned houses.
UK urban decay is often the result of inter-related socio-economic issues, including urban planning decisions, economic deprivation of the local populace, the construction of freeways and railroad lines that bypass or run through the area, depopulation by suburbanisation of peripheral lands, real estate neighbourhood redlining, and immigration restrictions.
During the Industrial revolution, many people moved from rural UK areas to cities for employment in the manufacturing industry, thus causing urban populations to boom. Subsequent economic change left many cities economically vulnerable. Studies such as the Urban Task Force (DETR 1999), the Urban White Paper (DETR 2000), and a study of Scottish cities (2003) hypothesise areas suffering from industrial decline, high unemployment, poverty, and a decaying physical environment (sometimes including contaminated land and obsolete infrastructure)-prove "highly resistant to improvement".
Changes in transportation from public to private, (specifically the private motor car) eliminated some of the cities' public transport service advantages, e.g., fixed-route buses and trains. In particular, at the end of World War II, many political decisions favoured suburban development and encouraged suburbanisation through financial incentives like government supported loans and mortgage aid. This allowed many veterans of World War II and their families to afford comfortable single family housing in suburbs.
The manufacturing industry has historically been a base for the prosperity of major cities. When these industries relocate to larger, less urban environments, some cities have experienced population loss with associated urban decay, and even riots. Cutbacks on police and fire services may result, while lobbying for government funded housing may increase. Increased city taxes encourage residents to move out. Libertarian economists argue that rent control contributes to urban blight by reducing new construction and investment in UK housing and discouraging maintenance.
England civil society decay is not salvageable and irreversible, UK housing projects will cease, caravans and campers will be rapid all of the UK. The UK and Europe will also descend into anarchy or unprecedented civil unrest, street crime, drug imports and EU organised ganglands will become an epidemic and radical ideological terrorist attacks occurring daily by 2028=2030.
You missed the main one. Immigration.
@@002lisamarie Non natives of UK were the hired help of Britain but industrialisation collapsed in the UK and working visas/migrant visas were mismanaged and had no EXPIRY DATE.
@@002lisamarie study the history and you'll understand that I am close to the point.
It's literally any working class part of any major city.
Cultural diversity is our strength they said??
you should look more around peterborough such as stanground and yaxley
Basically every city in the UK look the same and has same problems: rampant homelessness, drug abuse, "cultural enrichment", etc.
Not every city and definitely not every town.
By the way did you go to the nicer parts ? Nope the areas you walked down have been bad since the early to mid 80s , all the shops you mention ? How many are English ? very , very few . I do not care what anyone says Peterborough has been ruined by Drug users and people from abroad . Same with all the cities and towns across the UK . Get rid of drugs , get rid of the wrong people moving over to the UK and you will see the issues reduce .
Modern city planning and architecture is a massive failure all over the West. But nowhere is it so bad as in the UK. You'd sometimes think someone sat down (especially in the 60's and 70's) and said "Let's build something truly ugly and inhumane!" As a Swede, I'm flabbergasted at the beauty of what is traditional English planning and architecture, and equally flabbergasted at the brutal ugliness inflicted on beautiful old towns and cities.
That endless road is the perfect example of shit planning. No matter how new and nice the actual buildings are, who wants to BE in a place like that? No one! And then it goes quickly down hill.
Fact is most large towns cities are like this. Canterbury for example.
Come to Doncaster twinned with beruit
Doncaster is going the same way ? All our cities are going down the toilet. Multiculturalism has destroyed Britain.
It looks nice on videos.
I hear there's grooming gangs in Peterborough any truth to that ?
Well done goverment.🤬
In the early 90s Peterborough was the place to go but over the years it’s turned into a shite hole !! I wonder why that is 🤔
reminds me of slough: home sweet home
AHH home sweet home! Thanks for watching and the comment. Hope you enjoy the content 🙏
Peterborough has many problems. Poverty, homelessness, inequality, underinvestment etc
Immigration did not cause any of them.
When i was passing through the city center, seemed quite nice- the main shopping centre in particular was fairly impressive
I thought the same then you leave the main city square and it changes fast. Thanks for watching
Lived in Peterborough 18 years, it has gotten worse and worse over the years quite sad really, don't really feel safe in the city anymore, the sounds of sirens are common, I've been involved personally in a couple of different occasions I was assaulted within the city for no reason
As a person who was born here then moved to croydon of all places i can wholeheartedly say
This place made croydon look like a gated community😂
I wonder why the Uk is in such decline now?
Sad times thanks for watching and the comment
Why is this happening? it is so frustrating to see, every town near to me the councils are demolishing the shopping centres that are popular, businesses are closing yet they was queing out of the doors less than a year ago
The only thing that has put Peterborough on the map is Joanna denhenhy!.
I remember that story!!
ha! iv been to Peterborough a few times and i had no idea it was this bad
It's the outskirts, but there minutes walking distance from the city. Very shocking. Thanks for watching and the comment
It isn't. And I've lived here all my sixty years.
