Is there anywhere left in the UK that's nice and safe to live?

[christmasandcounting]

Thinking of moving back. Any recommendations?

Have you not watched Midsomer Murders? Nowhere, literally nowhere is safe.

Some lovely small market towns/villages in Shropshire and the bigger places, like Ludlow and Shrewsbury, are beautiful.

Rural Rutland/Leicestershire border here. Very safe and beautiful countryside-however it is Tory badlands and we shoot Labour voters and for sport

In the little hamlet I live in we recently had what is now known as bingate.
The recycling bins weren't collected. After numerous calls from neighbours this was sorted out a week later. It had us texting each other all week for updates. Sadly the situation became more out of control and distressing when the bins were put back in the wrong places and neighbours accidentally took bins that didn't belong to them. I tell you it was mayhem

Sounds like our hamlet! We had similar over someones dog pooing in the churchyard (hardly any houses here but bloody big church for some reason). There was a flurry of texting trying to determine who the culprit was. Knit and natter group could talk of nothing else!

@wellthatwasthat Hi!!

We did have some problems recently in our village when someone staged a protest by parking across the entrance to the village hall to (ironically) highlight the lack of parking available. The lady in question blocked several cars in and out. Boy did it kick off, so if that kind of scares you OP then these mean bridleways streets are not for you!

Bedfordshire over here too

I live in the Lakes. It's anarchy here. Someone has been leaving bits of litter on the bus. Don't come here; not safe.

I live in poorer inner city area. Last week my DS2(2) lifted a box of washing pods from the shop. I didnt realise until we were on our way home. It's crime central around here.

No, all of it is feral and completely out of control. Best say where you are. Xxx💕❣️

Actually, I take it all back, I had to get past this menacing gang blocking the path on my run last week. It’s mob rule here.

Almost everywhere. It’s one of the most liberal countries in the world.

HTH

Most places in the U.K. are safe. Very few are nice and they cost an awful lot.

Nope. Nowhere is safe. We're all doomed!!

I've never once felt unsafe in the UK and I've lived in a few different areas.

These are all nice:
Whitechapel
Broadchurch
Midsomer
Holby
Brookside
Ambridge
All places have social problems but these places always seem to have plenty of police around.

@viques wow!
Cancer, domestic violence and menstruation aren’t (in your book) appropriate from WOMAN’S HOUR?!?!
You’re funny.

@thelikelylass

Ahhhh! Someone who might be able to help! Why can’t I buy Whitechapel Season 4 on DVD?

Lol at Whitechapel, I suppose if DI Chandler was your neighbour 😍

Dear Abso did you forget to take your irony tablet this morning? I took mine.

I don't leave the house without a knitting needle down each welly here in East Sussex

My parents live in north London, just round the corner from a council estate. They've lived there for nearly 50 years and it's safer now (in terms of crime rate etc) than when I was growing up.

Here's another website for you. If you go into compare performance, you can compare different areas.

The OP is probably asking this question because of the hyperbole from the left. Especially the way they go on about people who they think would’ve voted for Brexit. You’d have thought the country had turned into one big ghetto the way they went kn

*on

Yes, Barnsey, it's all about the left's hyperbole, all about that. But you know, Netmums seems to be up and running again, so there is that for you to go back and enjoy. Xxx💕❤️
