I Investigated a once thriving UK town that has been decimated over the years and is now dubbed a "Crime Ridden Ghost Town full of abandoned houses" and "The UK's Worst Town" by the British media. How much truth is there behind the negative headlines? In this UK Documentary we uncover what happened to this UK Town and how it gained its notorious reputation... Is it really a "Ghost Town Filled with Abandoned Buildings"? Is it really a "Crime and Rubbish Ridden Dump"? And more importantly how is life for the people of Penrhys, one of the poorest towns in the UK? In this Documentary I travel to South Wales in the UK to find out for myself...
A quick Google search will uncover a huge number of negative articles and headlines such as:

    It's not just Camborne, and nearby Redruth. Falmouth has the image of yuppie yachts, beaches and designer flats, cafes and hotels but the reality is that Falmouth is also very poor outside of the tourist bubble, and still one of the poorest places in the country. This problem has been going on for DECADES but Cornwall County Council does nothing except promote the holiday visitor stuff which doesn't actually benefit the average Cornish person at all. Most of that money ends up in the hands of investors far away.

    Try doing your research before making a video about a place that is the old boiler house not community centre.

  • @andrewhurdle

    I really enjoy Turd towns and loved the Bristol one you did. I think you've missed a trick on this one though. There is so much history of stupidity and failures surrounding Penrhys which clearly are still there. Starting with the shared single boiler system for all houses which failed dramatically, leading to lots of empty houses on top of mine closures. Then councils send their most difficult benefit cases there. These were marooned there because it was stuck at the top of an almost un walkable hill and shit transport. It's just disaster after disaster. However as you seen there is an amazing strength in the majority of the community in the valleys despite the anti social minorities

    Unless you live here, you don't get to have an opinion. Don't believe all the things you read. The boiler house was never used as a community centre. Anything to do with the top of the site comes from people off site taking the piss, doing their drugs and leaving their rubbish. I no longer live in penrhys myself but would move back in a heart beat, the way all the community comes together is incredible, it's like a big family. They all look after eachother. It's in such a state because the council refuse to help and move people out of their homes just to leave the houses rot. Just this passed bonfire night the community came together to put on a firework display and a big bonfire which resulted in over 1000 people onsite and off site attending. There was no funding for this, this was all funded by the residents who took part in putting it on. Articles just want to show the bad of the community but never ever ever show the best side of it. Infuriates me.
