I’ll ask the question again …What happens to all the council tax ? Questions need to be asked as it’s obvious that it isn’t going back into the infrastructure, we are being robbed left, right and centre . Anyone would think all this destruction was intentional..surely not ! 😡
There’s a big scheme about to take place where they paint everything rainbow coloured,, and that costs a lot of money, there’s even talk about issuing rainbow bins to everyone, not sure how the recycling will work out tho! 😮
Terraced houses were built to house the tens of thousands of factory workers in Stokes heyday. Cheap housing for factory fodder . Then the factories closed and the terraces had no real purpose anymore .
There is still room for improvement it seems in this area. But compared to the "abject squalor" of what we have recently witnessed, this is i think at least slightly better. But the "full renovation" of the areas that have fallen by the wayside needs to continue!!
Got memories of going to the old Tesco's when I was growing up, and going to that closed down 360 bar on the corner when it was a decent old school pub, and not a theme bar when I turned drinking age. Hanley was always a bit rough around the edges when I knew it in the 80's and 90's... but it always had decent shops, and not a bad nightlife. I'm sad to say that it looks like a slum now, and I feel for the people who still live in the Potteries.
I’m trying to think what bar 360 was called before I for the life of me I can’t remember 😩it was a good old pub then you had the star pub and the lamb inn just around the corner of it.
The £1 house scheme could have worked if the council promoted it and regenerated the area. Unfortunately like everything around this dump it was abandoned and left to go wrong. 7:55 people dont have a sense of pride for there properties now, it maybe rental but they can still keep it clean and tidy. 9:35 Nice 🙂
There is so much to visit Stoke for like Trentham gardens, Wedgwood pottery and the beautiful countryside. Every town in the country has bad places I go everywhere and Stoke no different. Manchester and Birmingham has many no go areas to
used to live in Lowther, then Denbigh Street ('82 - '87) it was bad then but this is horrible decay, the pub was in a permanent cycle of open-close-open-close , the corner newsagent closed, the corner off license closed horrible place
@@DJMtv1938 years ago I passed by the pub, walking from the train station to visit my mother, there was a body on the pavement, i called for an ambulance, the poor fella was in a stupor due to smoking Mamba - the little "park" there used to have a fair old smattering of used hypodermics some might have bought a house there for £1 - I hope they received change
my mum got a 1 pound house there and its a dump hate visiting there but my mums house is paid off and she would make profit from it its a ok investment suppose
I feel very sorry for the people who did buy for £1 and were told the whole area was going to be regenerated and flooded with young professionals. If anything the area went worse 😞
It's better than what it was and it's still bad my mum gets no bother there tbh she doesn't wish to stay there but it's OK for now I hate going there at night especially the back alley way that leads on to burger King the council have again failed us

Blame the councils
Terraced houses were built to house the tens of thousands of factory workers in Stokes heyday. Cheap housing for factory fodder . Then the factories closed and the terraces had no real purpose anymore .
This is why we left Stoke just soul destroying my childhood home shot to hell 😢

Hanley had so much promise in the70s/80s & even the 90's.Now it looks like a set from a zombie movie.😥

Some people live like animals

Stoke is very much different
Look what the online shops have done to these town centres.
Would you buy a house for a pound in Hanley 😂
What a run down area it looks. Certainly changed since i was up there every week partying and shopping.
It’s like the Victorian age.
Yes "cannabis busts" have been fairly frequent in the town i live in as have Class A raids as well!
Weekly occurrence for that area I’m afraid
Have a J it's bester and than drink😮
That Portland project sounds like a great idea. But its bin on going for yrs lots & lots of money spent. & For what
Great job I used to live in Derwent street
Dump man Depressed place
At least the ally ways are clear, however time will tell, another good video
No hope there. Finished, the end.
No it used to be called luckybags in the 90s that blue building did in portland streets
Do Fenton next
👍any particular parts of Fenton ?
@@DJMtv1938 near the church/ town hall area if that's not too far for you

Yep totally agree 👍 and it was on tv the other night trying to make out the area was on the up. 🙄

Can I ask a quick question can the council charge you for rubbish dumped in your yard if it's not yours ? Great videos mate
