This is what The "WORST" High Street in Britain Looks Like... Abandoned UK Ghost Town
In the South of England, lies a Town Centre named as one of the Worst UK High Streets, referred to by many as a Ghost Town and described by a National Tabloid as a "Zombie Apocalypse Town"... Welcome to Waterlooville, in the county of Hampshire. What I Found in this Dying UK Town was shocking. The majority of the town centre is rows of closed, boarded up and abandoned shops. The place felt like a ghost town. Sadly, I think this may be one of the worst high streets that I have seen on my travels across the UK. In the centre of the town is an Abandoned Shopping Centre that for years has lay unused, the units within this Abandoned Place are literally rotting from the inside! In this video I managed to Interview a number of locals including a shop keeper to find out what their opinions and thoughts are on what is happening to their town and other British High Streets in General... Are we witnessing the Death of the British High Street before our eyes?

    Is it a Conservative Constituency? There's a trend of Conservative run Town's dying around the UK. Their village outlook and 'gated community' mentality makes them ill equipped to run places. For a party who is either born or married into money/higher class and who's back hand deals keep their wealth rolling in, they don't actually know how to create prosperity.

    One reason why the centre of Waterlooville is dying, even though it is in a generally prosperous region, doesn't get even one mention here. Simply put, the general appearance of the place is deadly DULL. The architecture seems to predominantly be drab, flat-topped, two or three storey units from the 1950s or '60s, all very functional back then but hopelessly out-dated now. Even if all the shop units were full there would be little that would make me want to visit the place, it makes even Swindon look glamourous!! What is really needed is comprehensive re-development of the town centre with interesting looking new buildings, a town square surrounded by civic buildings would be nice, a theatre or concert hall with adjacent bars/restaurants etc. would be a draw, a market hall with affordable rents for local traders, a leisure complex ... re-build it and the people will come.

    A few years ago Schiedam in the Netherlands was the record holder of "highest % of empty shop properties" at an impressive 25%. Spijkenisse at that time was working on expanding the town center, adding a new shopping area beyond the existing center. Last year half of the shop spaces in that new area were converted into appartments. The year after the new area was finished the square footage standing empty in Spijkenisse had increased by almost exactly the area of the new development; so some shops had RELOCATED and nothing new had opened. Online shopping means shops have to compete with businesses that have WAY lower operating costs. So the main street shops have lost a lot of business *EVERYWHERE.*
