The Vile Town of Oldham

What would you like to know about Oldham? Hey there, folks! It’s a beautiful day to be alive. Welcome! Today, we're diving deep into the heart of Lancashire to uncover the secrets of a town that has often been a topic of mixed opinions. Buckle up as we take you on a journey to explore the infamous town of Blackpool. Although this town is known by some as a coastal gem for its vibrant entertainment and stunning seaside views, you'll discover that it has its fair share of quirks and challenges that might just make you think twice about calling it home. So, whether you're a curious traveller or simply want to learn more about what makes or breaks a place, is Blackpool a good place to live?
Dangerous City to Live In
Let’s begin by telling you this bitter truth about Blackpool. Trust us, it is not all sunshine and rainbows. Are you ready to peel back the layers of this shadowy town? Well then, please just keep following along. Blackpool holds the title of the most dangerous major town in Lancashire, and it is not backing down from that reputation. It ranks as the third most dangerous location overall out of a whopping 236 towns, villages, and cities in the county. In 2022, the overall crime rate hit a staggering 162 crimes per 1,000 people, a figure that stands head and shoulders above Lancashire's overall rate of 83 per 1,000 residents.
Looking at the national stage, Blackpool takes the podium as the third most dangerous major town in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, and it ranks 174th overall in the list of all towns, cities, and villages. The numbers don't lie-Blackpool has a story to tell, and you need to learn more.
Next, we take a look at the drama of the months. May 2022 painted a grim picture as Blackpool claimed the dubious title of having the worst bicycle theft rate in Lancashire, with 40 reported cases and a crime rate of 0.27 per 1,000 inhabitants. October 2022 wasn't any better, marking Blackpool as Lancashire's burglary hotspot, recording a staggering 97 cases at a rate of 0.67 per 1,000 residents. And then, as the year came to a close, December 2022 was a dark month with 142 reports of criminal damage and arson, earning Blackpool the title of having the highest crime rate for these offences in Lancashire at 0.97.
But amidst the shadows, there's a stark reality to confront. Violence and sexual offences dominate the crime landscape in Blackpool, with a staggering 11,339 incidents reported in 2022, translating to a crime rate of 78. This marks a 6 per cent increase from the previous year, a haunting reminder of the challenges the town faces. On a brighter note, bicycle theft is the least common crime here, with 205 reported cases in 2022, marking a 38 per cent increase from 2021's figure. So, as you step into Blackpool, remember that beneath the glitz and glamour of its seaside charm, there's a town with its unique story, a story that keeps you on your toes and reminds you to stay vigilant.

If you are going to upload a video about Oldham ,perhaps you should actually use ,some film or pictures of Oldham ? Just saying .

[@mikdavies5027]

Exactly, showing useless footage of US cases does nothing to convince people that this concerns Oldham in any way!!
