Abingdon and Didcot named as some of the worst places to live in England

Didcot ranked as the 11th worst place to live in the country according to a new survey by the satirical websiteiLiveHere"> iLiveHere.

Last year the town ranked 44th on the list, and so this year has climbed more than 33 places – one person, who lives in the town, described it as ‘a railway siding dressed up as a real portal to hell’.

It was not the only town in Oxfordshire, however, to make the list.
Abingdon ranked the 23rd worse place to live in England, which one voter described as ‘Oxford’s ugly aggressive little brother that may stab you’.
