    I used to live there for a couple of years. It’s bad. The street you were walking - groups of 6 (man/kids) just randomly stand outside the off license shops like hookers in Dam. No one respects the street signs and everybody just acts like in a zoo. Istanbul grill is the bomb though so you kinda get used to it. Never had a problem and I was always on my own.

    I grew up in Peterborough before the immigration influx. Millfield and the Lincoln Rd area was always home to the Asian community which wasn’t that bad, until the Council / Housing associations decided to house Eastern Europeans there too. This is where the troubles come from.

    I go to Peterborough every now and then, usually as a busker, or for other music events or to catch a train to somewhere north. I’ve worked in the city centre late at night, attended events and workshops at Millfield Community Centre and walked from one end of the huge, dark station car park where it always sounds like there’s a nightingale singing after getting off a train late at night. Like every city it has its share of problems, but I’ve never felt threatened there any more than anywhere else.

It had something brand new to the area a Mc Donald’s! Hard to believe now but that was the only one for miles around. Or sometimes we would have tea at the reflections cafe on the top floor.

    I have the misfortune of living in Peterborough. Moved here in 1989 - it felt like a proper, bustling, affluent place with loads of decent pubs, clubs, no hassle, decent shopping, loads of businesses in town etc, much like most towns and cities back then. There has always been a foreign population, particularly Italian, Indian and Pakistani people with no underlying issues to speak of. We suffered huge volumes of immigration from all manner of countries, and with it the world’s problems. Criminal gangs, people on the fiddle, unemployed, homeless, compounded by a general breakdown in our own society with crap parenting and everything that goes with it. If you walk around the cycle path there is fly tipping everywhere, general litter. People don’t care for their properties. Flats and HMO’s everywhere. The city centre has been dying for years, compounded by COVID and now it’s just £1 shops, charity shops, takeaways, 2nd hand electrical shops, boarded buildings and doorways that house the homeless, alcoholic’s and drug takers. It reflects the majority of towns and cities across the country - I travel on business all over and it’s the same story with the same reasons. Country is lawless - political parties are complicit in the countries downfall. The end.

Peterborough was great back then. Fantastic shopping, buzzing nightlife, not to mention the Lido in the summer holidays!!! Crime was low, and we’d feel perfectly safe walking round the city centre as teenagers. I too go to visit family occasionally, and it’s so sad to see what Peterborough has become.

    I moved to Peterborough in the 70s i grew up by the 80s I would go into town when there was only like 3 nightclubs, By the early 90s it was booming loads of shops clubs pubs it was pretty safe to walk around at night etc then we got loads of new people turned up from all over the world in like 2003 some are ok but the others oh well. Now Lincoln road is a no go zone, and the city center oh my god its derelict nothing like it was at all full of homeless and junkies and strange dodgy shoplifters and pick pockets from all over the world. I never go to town center unless I really really have too. All the surrounding areas are getting worse as well, starting to resemble lincoln road area. What can you say the cathedral is nice shame about the rest lol... would love to get away to country

    Normally Cathedral Cities are among the nicest in England. It’s no coincidence that the trashing of the city from the 60’s on coincided with the downward spiral. Town planners /architects in post war England and including our era , were /are a total failure, their lauded “brave new world” turned into a “Clockwork Orange” type dystopia.

    Peterborough and Lincoln Road was fine up until the 2000s (lived in Peterborough from 1974) Used to spend a lot of time down there in pubs, shops (anyone remember AnB records?), my brother was murdered on Rhubarb Bridge in 98 and i left Peterborough in 2012.
    My parents and sister still live there and so do my children and friends. When i go back like i do a few times a year, it just looks horrible in certain areas.
    One of the most bizarre incidents by the then council was when they housed Iraqi (iirc) immigrants in the Gladstone Strret area and there were riots because the locals in that area did not get on with that certain group.
    The council had no idea and just decided that is where they would be housed and meant houses were set on fire and there was trouble. The local paper reported on it all at the time.

      16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
      Mark 1.15
      15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
      2 Peter 3:9
      The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
      Hebrews 11:6
      6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

And criminality is rising too, a disabled guy got robbed and brutaly murdered outside my work, i came to work just hours after he got murdered and i still can see that pool of blood in my mind, we have had many more murders around here, my neighbor got robbed 3 months ago and much more shit, The far right is rising in scandinavia too, i dont blame the people but our government havent done anything for years.

      It went downhill massively after the Iraq war when immigrants were being put in rented accommodation and private landlords started cashing in big time and this was 2005.
      I lived in Whitsed Street from 92-06 and although it wasn't the greatest area, that street had a sense of community and everyone got on and the nags head pub at the end was a good old fashioned pub in the houses too. There were even the parents of a premier league footballer that lived down there who were lovely people, but within 2 years from 04-06 it all changed.
      Once the buy to let's started happening, those that had lived there for years, myself included, sold up and moved away.
      Such a shame but it's a lot worse now and the last time I drove down there was a couple of years ago to show my son the first house he lived in.

    I live a stone's throw from Millfield and regularly visit day and night, either out on a run, or for food and drink & always find it lively, friendly and fun (though clearly a bit edgy!).
    For me, Peterbrough is drab, has its challenges with homelessness and the total abandonment of the nightlife district is really sad to see but it also has unreal transport links and, compared to much of the UK, isnt a bad place to be.
    Its great though to see someone shining a light on how our towns are being left to rot! Your video of Plymouth was especially interesting as it really spotlights the shocking levels of abandonment and dereliction in my original hometown that, to me anyway, are on a different level to the challenges here in boro and such a terrible shame given its waterfront and old town are up there with the best youll find anywhere!

    It's not that bad, yes there is a homeless and drug problem but what urban centre doesn't? I used to work in Millfield, regularly walked around there late at night/early hours of the morning, as I have done all over Peterborough, good areas and bad, never once had a problem, not there or anywhere. I still frequent Lincoln Road as some of my favourite takeaways are there.
    Side note, Millfield isn't an estate, it's an old neighbourhood that's had a massive influx of generations of immigrants over the years coming in and out of the area, people don't stay long, and landlords don't care about maintaining their properties, they just cram as many into HMO's as they can, so the area isn't cared about or maintained like a normal community.

    Joe Fish new to your channel. Very interesting. I only go to Peterborough for the annual Beer 🍺 festival. I don't know were some people are saying that Peterborough is 90% White or English. I struggled to find anybody who could speak English! Locals have always warned me about Lincoln road. Unfortunately this is going on in all are major towns and cities. We are seeing the joys of Multiculturalism! I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

    I recently passed my class 1 in peterborough... 10 days of training from a car license to a class c+e license. My instructor use to say if you can manage this city then you'll be fine everywhere else 😂
    So the top 3 most difficult situations I got put in whilst doing my class 1 in the city centre areas was
    Lincoln road - I was at the red lights with an arctic but a taxi was in the way parked towards me in my lane. I couldn't overtake because of the steady traffic on green lights oncoming and sometimes the lights went red. There was a massive queue of traffic because of this. So many drivers were angry but none could see I was stuck because a taxi was blocking my route. The taxi guy got in the cab and drove off and then I was able to move. He really didn't give a shit.
    2nd instance, I was coming from river gate to Bishops road. There's this mini roundabout there, I had to take the 2nd exit on it and pull out safely. So I'm moving 40 foot worth of trailer out of a junction that has to gove way to people doing uturns at high speeds without indication. Does anyone indicate or slow down anymore. Nope.
    3rd issue of peterborough sucks was the people. Cyclists and moped users were using pavements and were overtaking the lorry constantly 😂 I've been driving a hgv for 9 months now and I've driven through london, Edinburgh and cardiff and they felt easier than peterborough's Lincoln road or its shifty roumdabout.

    Unfortunately millfield alot of cons than pros but you will not find an empty shop on that strip.
    The locals have tried working with the police to tackle crime Unfortunately its always empty words.
    Most group of men i agree not a great sight as a local you know all they are doing is having a beer and eating sunflower seeds.
    The deprivation of the city people can blame immigration Unfortunately the council is to be blamed for that.
