Sure, it's a good place. It just depends on the area.
There are loads of good people still living in Widnes, it's a small place and everybody pretty much knows everyone.
But, it's gone down hill over the last few years. Too many drug addicts, stoners, chavs and scum have moved here. Crime is always on the rise too, mostly cowardless crimes too which totally hits a nerv with me.
Lots of shootings over the last couple of months. My friend got stabbed in the neck with a broken bottle on New Years eve with no motive. The attackers just did it 'because they wanted too'.
A bouncer who came to his aid and took him to hospital was then later shot in the neck and is in intensive care.
Like I say, loads of crimes with no motivation. Just cowardness.
Of course, I know crime happens everywhere but for what used to be a nice quiet place it is going downhill fast.
But as I said, sure, there are still some great people here.
