It's borderline criminal for someone to own a building and let it rot. It should either be compulsory purchased by the local Council, or the owner should be forced to sell it. There are so MANY opportunities for small businesses, but given the lack of affordable retail units, we're forced to shop online or at corporate retail parks. Very sad state of affairs for the UK in 2024.
He showed 2 empty buildings on a Sunday, one which is a crime seen and top of town that's waiting on planning permission to be reopened as a nightclub again.
As I said on the Rucorn video, we need to know the time of day and day of week this was recorded. That said, there is no excuse for allowing a building to get into the sate of that building at the start of the video. And why do businesses not do any maintenance anymore?
Why show Widnes town centre when virtually everywhere is closed. Making my home town look much worse than it is. Only got spoilt when they built the Upton estate for the scousers to move into . Thatcher destroyed the factories and manufacturing in Widnes and basically Widnes has become a massive housing estate with new builds everywhere 😢
I’m getting fed up of these vloggers choosing to see the town that I was born and raised in a less than positive light. These vloggers could go to hundreds of towns up and down the country and find exactly the same thing - so why select Widnes for this kind of garbage? The reason is clear, the narrative you want to create fits in with preconceived ideas about the town and to create a shock-horror video about Widnes. You guys can do better than that, showing closed down shops with almost mournful music over top does not cover your channel with glory. Widnes has issues - as does hundreds of other places in the UK…for those Widnesians living in the town..this is their home and most love living there, so don’t paint a picture that you wanted to paint before you visited Widnes…
Peoples livelihood, dreams and aspirations here. So where are the people now? What do they do? One day this will all be flattened and rebuilt on. Wont recogise the place.
Widnes was Lancashire until the tories changed the boundaries moved it to Cheshire but at least that's a improvement on Merseyside what I think it's going to become 😮

And a lot of buildings around here are owned by PEEL Holdings (IOM) so they are pretty much untouchable
they prob bought them with debt, and now the property is worth less than the debt they owe. 😂😂@@yardgrid

Widnes is not in Cheshire
Administratively speaking, it is. Otherwise, Lancashire.

all those empty buildings!what a waste!
It's so bad Cheshire want it to be in Merseyside and Merseyside want it to stay in Cheshire
I can't believe Hale is in Halton. Its just Speke with driveways ffs.
