    I used to debt collect around Oldham and Rochdale, Bolton , Bury , Blackburn and Burnley.....the level of poverty was unbelievable.

      My dad was a bailiff around Wythenshawe back in the late 80's I think it was, It was the shortest job he ever had as the poverty he could see that the people had nothing yet still had to try to collect the debt. When I say shortest, job, he has had 3 jobs in the 45 years I've known and that one was for less then a year, both others where 20+ years in them.

    The college bank flats are mostly empty because the council offered every tenant £7,000 to move out as they were planning to demolish every tower block except for one. Most took the money and ran. But now the council have since changed their minds about knocking them down and they are letting ex tenants move back in. The ones not empty own their flats and refused to move out. The falinge flats are empty because the council are planning to demolish them to build new flats. You can get a fry up and a can of Stella from san Reno’s cafe but it’ll cost you more than £2.50

    I grew up in Rochdale going to a lot of the rough pubs with my dad, I got a job traveling around the UK and I couldn't believe how nice the rest of the UK (I'd been to a few holiday destinations in the UK but they're usually pretty grim too) seemed and quickly moved away, my nan lived in one of the seven sisters too.

      It's not just abt money altho it certainly applies to any major requirement for repairs... Its the people living there being apathetic.. When I lived on a Council estate, I was thought most eccentric for moving other people's abandoned furniture abd rubbish (most often from communal stairways) washing down communal stairs and litter picking... And even planting trees and shrubs. I made a difference to my block. Visitors remarked how nice it was .. but I couldn't do the whole estate.. One thing I remember was a young girl in the blovk who was a major 'graffiti' artist.. No Banksy, just her name scrawled absolutely everywhere. .. Her parents could see it everywhere but didnt restrain her.. When I knocked to complain I noted the inside of their flat was immaculate, posh. The parents both worked they had a nice car. Her parents were hostile to my complaint abt their daughter. Some people are incomprehensible and not fit to have a council flat.
