The WORST & Most SHOCKING Areas in Slough Uncovered: Public Order Notices, Rats & Worse!

- Slough, located in the county of Berkshire in southeast England, is approximately 20 miles west of central London.
The town boasts a unique and diverse history, offering a blend of both urban and suburban lifestyles.
Like many urban regions, Slough has encountered its share of crime-related challenges.
Over the years, it has witnessed fluctuations in crime rates, from violent crime and theft to drug-related offenses.
However, local authorities and the police are continuously working on initiatives aimed at improving safety and reducing crime.
A standout characteristic of Slough is its rich ethnic diversity.
Often cited as one of the most ethnically varied towns in the UK, Slough's demographic includes a significant population of South Asian origins, including Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi communities.
The town is also home to considerable Eastern European, African, and Caribbean populations.
This vast array of cultures lends Slough a vibrant social and cultural atmosphere, peppered with diverse festivals, events, and eateries that celebrate its multicultural heritage.
Economically, Slough has faced challenges akin to many post-industrial towns.
Historically, the town was a significant industrial center, mainly due to the Slough Trading Estate, one of Europe's largest and oldest.
As the economic landscape shifted over the decades, the town has had to navigate issues such as unemployment, underemployment, and the pressures of a high cost of living, especially in housing.
Despite these challenges, Slough's strategic location near London and Heathrow Airport makes it an attractive business hub, housing the headquarters of numerous multinational companies.
Additionally, Slough has garnered attention in literature and pop culture.
The town was notably mentioned in Sir John Betjeman's poem "Slough," which painted a rather grim picture during the industrial age.
More recently, Slough found worldwide fame as the backdrop for the UK version of the hit TV series "The Office," starring Ricky Gervais.
Though the show humorously poked fun at the town, it brought Slough to an international audience.
If you live in Slough and any of the areas covered in this video, we'd love to hear from you!

Is it not the residents responsibility to keep the area clean ? This is exactly what happens when people refuse to be liable for their own behaviour . More government is NOT the answer , individual and group obligations and discipline are .
If people like their area, they will respect it & keep it clean. If they don't like it, they won't care about it.
If they live there because they can't afford anything better, they won't like it.
@@mericet39they won't like it more when it's a fucking shit hole mate...

John 3:16-21
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.

I live in Slough, honestly this is just a boring place where all you do is work and sleep. The council also isn't making improvements to make it better, they could've tried to renovate the shopping mall but instead they're going to demolish it and build more houses. If you have children or a sane life, stay away from Slough.
Houses or flats for illegalls??
@@user-mf5ue6rc5n Maybe, I don't really know
@@user-mf5ue6rc5n a lot of the new flats are actually high value expensive ones for your professionals near the station, however to get planning permission the council insist like 20% are designated for social housing, so partly yes
The Council dont own that, educate yourself on who owns what... council can aonly do so much... the Saudis own the land...
@@Urban_Flux Saudis own Slough? Wtf are you smoking? Oh wait nvm you have a Marxist profile pic, it all makes sense 😂

Import the third world. Become the third world.
I simply cannot believe how much the UK has changed since I lived there 35 years ago. I lived in Bury St. Edmunds, Ipswich, Woodbridge and London. I have traveled the World and currently live in Germany. I always thought I'd return to the UK and retire in the Greater London area, Surrey, Sussex, Norfolk or Suffolk. After watching many of your clips, I'm not so sure that I'd feel safe. I am aware that with time, all places change but to such measures - wow! I have a cousin who lives in Thetford Norfolk and he told me, to remain in Germany as the economy and infrastructure is much better. Although I agree about the economy/infrastructure, the Germans are a cold lot - they all seem to suffer from "grumpy face" syndrome, and the language is so aggressive - it takes getting used to.
Well, I wish the best for the UK - hope things get better.
Spent time in Franfurt couldnt agree more about the germans
I'm glad you agree. I lived in the greater Frankfurt Area as well and in Stuttgart, now Nurermberg. I can honestly say that out of these 3 big cities, Nuremberg is the most friendly, followed by Frankfurt and then Stuttgart. I don't get it here. The Germans facial expression is one of a cross between a sourpuss and someone who just smelled some bad cheese. Not one smile or a cheery disposition. I miss popping in the pub after work and holding a simple conversation with a stranger on such friendly levels. Here, all you get is a stare, a grunt maybe and a cold "hallo" if you're lucky or shall we say unlucky😂😂🤣🤣😁😁@@AnthonyMcRedmond-Vg2ry
Stay in Germany! I lived in bombed out West Berlin in the '80's and it was better than England is NOW! As for the people, they are reserved, (a reputation WE have ironically!) I used to have great fun doing the John Cleese Fawlty Towers 'Silly Walk' Oh! and don't get me started about the time I showed my Deutsche pals episodes of 'Allo Allo.
I was stationed in Berlin in 1990-1993 and it was an interesting assignment. I was pondering today about returning to England (East Anglia /Suffolk) simply due to the people. Funny, as we are known to be "reserved" in the UK, but the Germans place it on a whole other level. I went to a party last week, where there was no music, no conversation outside of the subject of economics, the Euro position, how to better bank your monies and no one here is a banker or economics major. This would have never happend to my old crew in the UK. We would have been better off going to some Gasthaus, drink some beers and watch something on the tele - but no.The highlight of the party was watching a heavy seat comedian (Cindi von Marzan) which wasn't all that funny as her Berlin humor is eccentric on her environment in Berlin. Regardless, I managed and enjoyed the food. I simply miss the friendliness of our peoples.@@sebastiennesp1978
Germany has its issues too, but yeah the UK is in fast decline. It has really accelerated over the last 15 or so years. However, this video is not really representative of the UK as a whole - this is about as bad as it gets in the south. But there are lots of areas that, while better, still aren't great
Looks like any other dismal and depressing UK town
that area where you are walking in baylis park saying 'poorly maintained' used to be an open air swimming pool up until the 1980s.
Interesting. Where in the park was the pool?
Baylis lido
Baylis lido used to be a brilliant open air swimming pool going back to the 1930's. Brilliant back in the 60's/70's, then it closed. Population back in the 70's was 98,000. Shocking to see the current state of the area. Used to be the country estate of William Penn, who founded Pennsylvania.
I was born and raised there. Tough town for sure and I had fights every week to survive. We moved away eventually and it was the best move ever. But then I remember Slough when I was very young and it was okay but then something in the early mid seventies went very wrong and it turned into a shithole in a space of about two years.
Maybe the people that live there ,it will become so bad they will leave the UK with a bit of luck.
I grew up in Slough during the 80s,90, and early 2000s. It was a good place to grow up but it's always been a shit hole and well known for it.
That a long time to be growing 🆙
We moved to slough in 84 and left in 89, it wasn't the nicest place but we bought our first property there and were happy, we now live in Australia and think I am happy we no long live there. Feel sad for the decent people who live there.
I was born in Slough and lived there for 35 years. Just moved to west London recently. Slough was always known as a shit hole since I was kid, however it progressively got worse through the 90s, 2000s and 2010s. So it became even more of a shit hole. The local council is also bankrupt within last couple of years, despite high council tax due to extreme financial mismanagement such as knocking down a perfectly good library and bus station and rebuilding with modern architecture monstrosity, the’renovation’ of the high street (yes what you can see on the vid is renovated) and the council building a thunderbird themed hotel. Pure insanity. Now they’ve jacked up council tax to highest possible level and stripped back bin collections to every two weeks
Bruh Chalvey is mini Romania
Ever been to Romania ?
Chalvey is the right name... just remove the fourth letter.
@@analogueman123456787 ‘chavey’ 😅
The problems with Slough:
1) High crime.
2) The people with problematic behaviour aren't a tiny minority like in other towns and they aren't just working class people. The behaviour is part of their culture.
3) Very overcrowded. Any vacant office or spare land is converted to flats.
4) Incredibly bad drivers. Because a lot of the people are alphas. Also I've always suspected that you can get a licence without taking a test.
5) Lots of very anti-social people and unusually a lot of middle-class people. It's not just "chavs" that are the problem. For example, If you live in a flat then you'll frequently have problems with anti-social neighbours who are middle-class. Letting agents have told me that this is common.
6) People have very low standards. For example, Town has LOTS of fast food & butchers shops regularly with open rubbish bags out the back and rats running about during the day time.
7) Labour council is repeatedly re-elected no matter how incompetent and wasteful of money that they are.
That sounds about right. Now we need to understand how some or all of that could ever be fixed 🤔
@@ukexploredIMO a Conservative council would never get elected. Theoretically they may make improvements (Waste less money so that they provide better public services / Reduce the number of new properties built). But the Labour council was even re-elected shortly after it became public that they were £800m+ in debt. And I don't see what can be done about the standard of people in the town who are IMO a big part of the problem. The people who move to the town bring the same problematic attitudes because they come here to be with people like them.
Well done. The first person with a brain who doesn't just put it down to "foreigners bad"
Except Labour didn't get elected this year. It was about the only council where Labour managed to lose during the local elections, because the Labour council was that bad.
@@bujlerThe worrying thing is that the number of Lab & Con councillors is only different by 3. To me it suggests that there's a large section of the town that will always vote Labour.
I grew up in Slough, moved to London for 20 years and came back recently. You're correct it's a predominantly Asian/immigrant area. Great if you like Indian food but otherwise it's a dump.
Indian food prepared in rat infested kitchens? No thanks! 🤮
Bring in the third world you get a third world
Slough was a predominantly Asian area 20-years ago. Why you should be surprised, given it's no different now than it was then, is somewhat puzzling...
@@analogueman123456787 You obviously don't live anywhere near Cippenham. It used to be multicultural now purely monocultural.
@@spumemonk11 - And you obviously missed that I was talking about Slough as a whole. Btw, I'm well-aware of Cippenham.
What a dive, people have to take responsibility for where they live!
MOST OF THE UK IS BEYOND FCUKING HELP, MATE.
You can walk down Slough High St up and down and not see not one attractive woman. 30 years ago there were plenty. My eyes would be popping out of my head. It is a total dump.
I have lived in the Borough of Slough for over 30yrs. It was such a nice and pleasant place to live in. Not any more. I live in Langley. There is a problem with private home owners. They are causing problems for people living in their own homes!!! The asian next door neighbours are very territorial. Our home is their territory!!!! I have been subjected to some very nasty crimes. Gangstalking, device hacking etc. Our home has been broken into by the next door neighbours!!! Been filmed inside our house and these clips have been posted on the internet!! Been assaulted inside our house. Various chemicals have been sprayed into our privately owned house by the South Indian Tamil (Privates) tenants. For the past 4 years!!! Mine and my 79yr old mother's eyesight has been damaged as a result. Was able to see clearly up to 20ft. Now been reduced to about 7ft!!! The adjoining house is owned by a Chinese family (their landlord). The Indian neighbours in the house painted blue are also involved. It is like living in a zoo!!!! Boundaries are not observed or respected. This is a free for all to do whatever enters their brains. Also, these neighbours/ privates tenants take class A drugs. These are extremely frightening times that we are living in. I have contacted the police about all the above mentioned this month. New crime: next door neighbours are forming GANGS. In order to do the above.
That's a very strange story. Upload your clips to UA-cam. Would be interesting to watch.
Informative video. Keep them coming.
Thanks!
Lived and grew up in Slough in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s. Best thing I ever did was move far away as soon as I could.
I lived in Britwell and Chalvey. Chalvey is definitely the worst part of Slough - same as High Street. Completely awful and deprived place. On the other hand I found Britwell kinda good for Slough - it's very green, still not so much of green areas taken by new developments. Some people living there are indeed unemployed, neglecting local area but compared to the rest of Slough it's actually a good place. The funny thing is that complete shithole like Chalvey is located twenty minutes walk or five minutes drive from one of the poshest areas in UK - Eton. You just basically need to walk through playgrounds belonging to Eton College and here you are - completely different world!
Slough in the 1950/60/70/80’s was great place with council rich from money from Industry I think April 1974 was a mark of the end of good times as Slough was moved from Buckinghamshire to Berkshire so it has had no space to expand north as it should have done instead it kept building mad flats 24/7 inside the urban area now the council is bankrupt and Buckinghamshire won’t touch it the only way forward is to be absorbed by its eastern giant neighbour Great London as it’s 33rd brough as been suggested in a well known blogging site. RIP Slough, Buckinghamshire
Communism ruins everything
I grew up not far from Slough in 70's, 80's and 90's and I can
assure you that it has always been a shithole. It has got visibley worse, but has always been worthy of it terrible reputation.
I worked I Slough for a while in the 80s. It wasn’t great then, but not on this level, not that I visited these areas, but you get a reasonable sense of the state of most places from the High Street.
Slough seems particularly blighted for a town in the South East and that is a bit of a surprise given its local company. Just down the road is Eton College, often referred to as ‘Slough Grammar’. The approach to Slough on the M4 is also dominated by Windsor Castle. Slough has arrived at this state from low place to begin with. In 1937, Poet Laureate, John Betjeman published his homage ‘Slough’.
Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough!
It isn’t fit for humans now,
There isn’t grass to graze a cow.
Swarm over, Death!
Come, bombs and blow to smithereens
Those air-conditioned, bright canteens,
Tinned fruit, tinned meat, tinned milk, tinned beans,
Tinned minds, tinned breath.
Following WWII, what is now the site of the main industrial and business park was used as a dumping ground for disused military equipment. The industrial park provided me with my one memory of Slough that will not leave me. The estate is home to a Mars Bar factory, which on some hot summer days, covers the surrounding area with a thick sweet smell of processed chocolate and sugar, etc., which might be welcome on a cold winter day, but I don’t think they open the factory’s ventilation until it gets hotter.
Isn't is strange how there's usually more flytipping and littering in the more ethnically diverse areas of our towns and cities.
Rubbish I know all white areas just as bad its about income when people struggle they stop caring
Source?
@@bbuzz1687 lol look at Slough, east London and Southall. They all have huge migrant communities and the streets look like third world countries.
Enough of a "source" for you to look out the window?

Moved to Leicester from Slough 16 years ago. Best decision of my life 😅
@@sadas25 haha this is actually quite different. It all depends WHERE you live in Leicester.
@@sadas25 I don't think you have seen leicester properly. Maybe you just checked certain areas.
Leicester is one of the first cities in the UK where white population has officially bacame minority, according to 2021 census it's only 40% white! You basically changed one "multicultural" dump for another😂😂😂
@@tommykarate9397
100% correct one shithole for another..
Multicultural MADNESS really...
@@tommykarate9397 nothing to do with colour you spoon
Thank God I moved out around eleven years ago. Slough has gone done hill because of the council. Easily the worst in the country.
Shame Slough has really gone downhill. Some old but vague memories I have of Slough suggest the town was better.
Yeah, it's sad to see area going downhill, and it's always harder to bring an area back up to standard once it's on the slide.
Slough is finished. It will never be any good. It's the politicians who've done this....... treasonous politicians whose loyalty is to big business and international finance rather than the country. The White British population there has been extirpated and those that are left are often mentally ill with drug and alcohol addictions.
I used to visit my grandparents in the 1970s, as a kid and I don't think it was this bad! Chalvey was quite a nice little shopping area, from what I remember and my parents got married in the parish church in the 1960s!
I used to live in Slough for over 20 years. It used to be lovely. They just kept moving foreigners in and it's now a shithole. This is what most towns will look like unless the gvt get a grip. I couldn't wait to move away from this horrord place
Govt is what doing this or helping the globalist cabal doing this to Europe and America.
My kids went to school in Slough 2011 - 2022. Fantastic school with great staff and kids. Behaviour and respect in school was amazing.Both my kids left with fantastic results.
Slough has its challenges and problems - have seen drugs being openly sold outside Nandos on a lunchtime - but not everyone there is without hope.
My parents house is still in Slough, I moved out 15 years ago, would never go back.
Blame the gangmasters who bring people into Slough to work in the warehouses and factories below minimum wage leaving the immigrants in the same poverty trap as the indigenous inhabitants... Slough should be a boom town but the employers keep the pay low by shipping in workers.
One factory refurbishment I worked in Slough we found a mezzanine with about ten beds above a portacabin that seemed to be a makeshift living room/kitchen area... The place is a real eye-opener, a lot of shady things go on in that town.
It's only necessary to go to 0:40 into the video to see why. Demographics. Many many UK towns, and the UK in general, are beyond hope.
What a shithole, but it wasn't always like this. back in the 1960's Slough was a great place to visit, then somehow the overseas community took over and turned it into the 3rd world toilet that they were more used to.
hi there uk explored, since your an expert on rough areas in the uk, can you tell me the 5 worst areas/council estates in london? is broadwater farm estate one of them?
I'd imagine so yes

Pretty bad like...I still think Swindon will give it a run for its money.
Swindon has its problems but it's far better than Slough. Id consider a night out in Swindon because it has plenty to offer particularly The Old Town. Nobody would ever consider a night out in Slough.
hello i just wonder did you film these footages by yourself? do you travel around the country and film everything?
Hi Rose, Yes I do, I use my iPhone and a drone for the aerial shots.
Wait when we hit 10-15k can you do a QnA pls?
Do you have any info about the Salt Hill/Montemn Lane area and Bath Rd/Train Station? It's very close to Chalvey it seems, so if the crime level reaches that area. I'm also unsure even if those corners of Slough are safer, of course I would have to go shopping at some point or to train to get to other places, so what is the risk there?
Jesus christ lol, it's a ghetto and also extremely dangerous especially if you are a white person.
Near to the train station is better and less crime. Try an area named Upton which is a lot nicer, however even the nicer pockets of Slough like Upton are on a downward slide
@@extricatem7832 there is nowhere nice in Slough lol
You should try Middlesbrough, I can even give you a guided tour of the country’s finest sh$t holes
Slough's economic decline mirrors the decline of its trading estate as a manufacturing centre. It is now a sterile data park full of data centres serving London's and Europe's banks, telecoms and internet companies. Many long-established businesses have long since relocated away from Slough or moved to Eastern Europe, where labour and business rates are cheaper. This has left its multi-culti residents with no place to find steady employment, and instead there is now a proliferation of box-vans parked in all the residential streets, as people have had to turn to becoming delivery drivers.
Slough, since the 1970s, has been a host town for each wave of immigration into the country. These new entrants could easily find work back then on the trading estate. However, the current cohort of asylum seekers have nowhere to work officially and hence put a strain on Slough's finances. Most have to work unofficially in the gig-economy as delivery riders, serving the needs of all the fast-food outlets that have sprung up in and around the High Street.
Also, Slough's multi-culti residents have no connection with the town, so they have no vested interest in maintaining it.
Part of the problem is that Slough's residents don't know how to hold Slough Borough Council to account for the town's physical decline, and especially for not addressing the accumulation of litter and general fly-tipping.
The easiest way to mobilise Slough Borough Council to do something about the state of each neighbourhood is to raise a complaint online.
Complaints tend to send a rocket up Slough Borough Council, as the number of complaints it receives are a key metric that they actively try to manage down and resolve. Report an issue and if nothing is done about it, then complain and then things will start to happen.
A lot of the problem with Slough is that the council and the police prefer to take the easy option of turning a blind eye and doing nothing whenever they can.
Does anyone think wheely bins are adding to public squalor? In London I have only seen a handful that have been discretely tucked away so as not to offend the eye. In this video I noticed some of the larger bins full to overflowing.
My eye did not capture waste bins in the public domain (though I did spot bins for dog waste)
Slough maybe a dystopian landscape of criminality, vandalism, littering, drugs and unemployables but, hey, think of all the joys of cultural enrichment that the diverse and inclusive population has delivered, to the enormous benefit of the indigenous population. And though it’s easy to criticise, let’s respect the that the place surely suits the types who live there.
People come for the work years ago Irish and Italian the Carribean and Asian, lots of people trying their best to earn a living, nothing a good council could not clean upn
Ive lived in slough my whole life. Im 21. Its got its bad sides but I believe you don’t really know a town or people until you interact with them and see how they go about their days. Its easy to walk through a few areas and record. Slough’s a diverse place and so I have friends from all cultures and religions, its a beautiful experience. My interactions with the community are always pleasant and I never feel unsafe walking through slough day or night. The council are somewhat to blame for the state of the high street and other areas, they are quite stupid and waste money unnecessarily, recently having gone bankrupt. With the easy access to London by the new elizabeth line I do anticipate it to become more of a commuter town in the coming years. It already is but with the elizabeth line its gained a bit more popularity.
Ah well, if you import the Third World, you BECOME the Third World yourself, huh?
The whole of England is a dump. Lived there a few years. And it not just the immigrants that are the problem lots of trashy white people around. Depressing weather always wet grey and cold. Ugly tiny houses stuck together, rubbish everywhere. There's nothing to do but drink at the pub. Glad my parents moved to Australia
Well said how right you are
As someone who lives in Slough, and pretty close to where this was filmed, only pointing to a town's problems doesn't give you an accurate overall picture. Slough is also one of the best places to work in the UK, but yes folks in Slough litter something cronic and fly tipping is also a big problem. It's a personal pet peeve that has made me start picking up others trash in my road as people don't respect their own neighbourhoods and think it's okay to do it to mine. And yes rats is a big issue which I'm fighting as we speak as people feed birds in the park which attracts rats. Yes the town centre is a dump, all the good shops have wisely left years ago and the homeless and street drinkers rule the roost. And yes Slough has dabbled in multi-culturism which has made the town grow but has become a little soulless with many different communities doing their thing, but their doesn't appear to be one unifying culture that binds them. Oh and yes the council is broke and services are a bit hit and miss sometimes. But otherwise a lovely place.
BARKSHIRE not "berk" shire, come on man
Nobody cares
@@reigen4030 you do and so do 7 other people lol
I've worked in Slough for 20+ years as a commuter. The pandemic saw me transfer from driving there every day to popping in once a year. Chalvey was always a bit dodgy as was Britwell. You locked your car doors but I'd been doing that since being a student in Salford. I can't believe just how bad Slough looks now. The town centre used to be vibrant with loads of good eateries and shops. Looks like a turd town now. Could have a lot to do with the council going insanely bankrupt as well as the local population not caring how the place looks. Never shit on your doorstep springs to mind but this is lost on the majority of Slough's population by the looks of things. Community, pride, ethics and values seem to have been pissed into the wind over 20 years.

i used to live in chalvey and i can assure you, worst places to ever live in. Heres what i have experienced in chalvey while i was living there for like an year now.
1. Immigrants (of course, they are everywhere) some of them act really tough when u mess around with them, mostly romani people.
2. school was filled out with garbage around including gums on the ground of course.
3. i seen 3 crimes around my house going on, first one was when some drug addicts were outside my house screaming and hitting others cars, 2nd was when a guy was really angry with blood coming out through his mouth and assaulted some people who were trying to help him, also hit peoples cars. 3rd was a husband on drugs hitting her wife in public.
4. getting harassed while taking a walk.
5. pretty hard to find a house so i lived in a very small and narrow apartment which u could have easily tripped over
6. if you live here then it would be kinda hard to get outside here since anything could happen to you with those shady people around there.
7. always cloudy (of course) and so much garbage on the streets.
Overall: worst place to ever exist, i was really happy when i finally got to move out from slough to a better place.
That’s crazy to hear all of that and I’m glad you moved. It’s sad that areas can get this bad, I want to raise awareness as a lot of people will never see, or hear comments like yours, but should know that areas like this are getting bigger and becoming more common across the UK.
It wasn’t always the case growing up in the sixties and seventies in cippenham slough was fine with a good sense of community . I guess many towns have changed for the worse I fear !
Sadly I think so, at least that's what a lot of people are commenting as well.
a lot of places went to shit during and after the 70s its sad
Bring in the third world, become the third world.
Innit so true!
@@Budgiearmy systemd I agree!
I try to stay fairly independent, but it's hard to ignore certain correlations🤔
@@ukexplored I hope you don't make such assumptions based on race. Britwell is not reflective on all white people, yes they require public funding from non white residents in Slough, but we're happy to help a poor and high crime area.
@@saghirhussain4360 the dirtiest areas of Britain and the world are usually black or Asian places.
I used to visit my grandparents in Slough as a kid so I have fond memories. That was in the 1970s, now it's probably more like Sloughistan that's why it's a dump no doubt!
Chalvey used to be quite nice from what I remember. My parents got married in the parish church there (before I was born)!
No need to be racist...
Your not wrong there , it's been ruined by the immigrants
@@z3ngz there is considering Slough was a totally different place years ago
I started my police career in Slough at the start of the 90's, it was bad then. Interestingly when you talked to the old folks Britwell was a sort after place to live when it was first built...Former Labour Home Secretary Alan Johnson lived on the Britwell estate some years before he got in to politics..
They always say they are building new affordable housing.

they cant even look after whats there already. @@Budgiearmy
it's the government churning the economy most of the time I bet
What you expect from a communist state they promise you free and good healthcare ,but there's no such thing as free lunch someone always pays for it .Taxes taxes taxes taxes UK is more corrupted than Russia .

Romans 6.23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
John 3:16-21
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.

Mattresses and upholstery left outside become rats' nests. If a house near mine left those sorts of things outside they would hear from me.
I live in Slough.
Its not as segregated as people say.
I think its great that Black blokes are systematically going round screwing many (not all) Chav White girls on poor run down council estates in Britwell, Cippenham Manor Park, Wexham and Langley.
It makes me extremely happy that the Whites and Blacks indulge in a lifestyle that makes them happy.
At least they are intergrated which is what they always wanted.
The Asians as usual own all the shops in Slough.
They are the most hard-working people I've ever seen but they do not speak English very well.
The Romanians form their own little communities and don't really interact with anyone as most of them do not speak English very well either.
The Polish people are very racist towards Blacks and they also form their own little communities.
The main problem is that all the various groups do not interact with each other.
It's mainly only Blacks and Whites who actually interact with each other with most of the interaction being sexual in nature.
Integration can only work when everyone speaks the same language.
If no one bothers to learn to speak English integration will never work.
The Polish people are very hard-working but they are very racist towards Blacks so intergration is not possible.
They are also White but they are not Anglo-Saxon so their behaviour is very different from the indigenous British.
The only two groups of people in the entire country of Great Britain that are truly integrated are indigenous British people and Black Caribbean people.
The interaction between these two grouos is mainly sexual in nature.
We see this behaviour on poor run down council estates throughout Britain.
Whatever makes them happy is cool with me.
Looks like you're watching too much porn of a certain genre and it's colouring (!) your view of real life!
And drugs. Full interaction and full integration.
@@rupertbollywood1190 As long as they are happy then I guess thats fine too.
i bet them signs help clean up the area
If only it was that simple, eh 😀
you missed out on Langley but as someone who lives here it is fucking hell on earth
I worked in the shopping precinct area next to a primary school in Chalvey back in 1999/2000 the months after 9/11.
Some bloke walking past me said, "Bin Laden is coming for you... i was sat in the truck eating me cheese and onion sandwhich for gawds sakes and was laying slabs trying to make this joker's fucking home a better place to live.
Smackheads were everywhere using the one payphone outside the school. They were constantly nosing about the trucks and work vehicles looking for something to rob, i even saw a couple trying to pickpocket a bloke sat on a wall having a smoke, they were nitties trying to commando crawl behind him to nick the wallet hanging out of his pocket. I whistled him and nodded to the two feckless muppets lying in the empty cans and food wrappers behind him.
Christ, it was rough.
That’s pretty crazy. It’s a real eye opener to many that we have places and incidents like this happening, on the other hand some have commented here like it’s all they know.
@@ukexplored which is sad in itself
I did visit Slough and I have to admit it is a complete shithole.
Slough is so rough .I think it's the ethics minorities and the council also there are a lot of people who beg and disrupt traffic it's not as if was a few decades ago it's just a shame that such an influential area is now looks like a dystopian landfill.Also really loved the background music.
Sad but true…
Yeah I know, right, it's starting to worry me what we'll be seeing 10 years from now
It appears that the term you intend to use is 'ethnic minorities.'
The challenges that have arisen in this locality have seen a significant escalation subsequent to the influx of Romanian expatriates. This includes the solicitation concerns mentioned by the narrator. It would be inaccurate to categorize these issues as solely an Asian predicament, particularly when one observes that the majority of businesses in the area are run by individuals of South Asian descent.
Instead, the issue of destitution and solicitation is emblematic of a broader concern that reflects deficiencies in both central and local government management, particularly with regard to the Eastern European demographic in the region.
Import the third world and this is what you get...
@@Poopdeck1015I don't lnow why you UK people refer to Indians, Bangladeshis and Pakis as "Asians". Honestly it's an insult to other Asians because all other asians prefer to not live in filth like many Bangladeshis and Pakistanis do, Indians are a little better but there is a lot of room for improvement. If you import the 3rd world you become the 3rd world.
Just saw your Walsall video, then came here, because I've been to Slough (I live in Reading & usually try to avoid Slough)
Must say, Slough is 1000000 times nicer than Walsall.
Slough is its old Anglo Saxon name, it's called Sludge now.
slough....my kind of town.... it's equidistant from london to reading
I worked in slough as a nineteen year old back in 1979. It was a shite hole then.
big brother is watching slough
Britwell in Slough has a mad rep for shit for decades if ykyk. I see ppl make comments about race it ain’t about race it’s poverty. Take areas like Liverpool for example, anyways shout out Britwell 😂
@@sadas25this is a really important point, one that has a lot of consequences and one that can straighten up our view of our imperial history
You should come to Graham Park Estate in NW London
The background music seems somehow completely unsuitable for this dishevelled town, especially the slow sexy groove around 1:00 🤣
Chalvey - haven't been there for over 50 years and then it was pronounced CHARVEE - and then famed locally for the Chalvey Treacle Mines.
i do like your honesty to let the world know how deprave your country has become.
All I can think of is the Office 😁
oh wow. however bad it is now, it was so much worse when i was a kid. beheaded body in the school playground, child murders, salt hill park wolfboy crimes. so bad.
Me and my family went to slough bc it was cheap and we wanted to go to London. I’m from a decently sized city in germany and live in a part where all shops are closing and stuff..I was a little surprised when walking to the train station from our hotel bc of the litter and just well….bad vibes? When we walked through it at night I must confess I got a little frightened by the vibes but the people in the shops were at least very nice!
Britwell is calm. Literally nothing going on. You did fail to show all the new housing all round the place, the new houses aren't flats but nice terraces with their own cul de sac areas. Surrounded by forest and park on all sides. Its also next to the posher parts of Burnham and Farnham common and royal. There is a grammar school 10m away from those shops.
What the hell is happening to England? Do people not own pitchforks over there? You're going back to Dickensian times.
Says alot about pathetic government when you have when of the biggest industrial areas in Europe making billions surrounded by people living in the most deprived estates in the country ! People might wake up to what's going on one day and demand better for themselfs
Do Scunthorpe... it hasn't even got a macdonalds in its mosty closed town centre
County Councils are to blame mostly for fly tipping and litter. Policing is also a major problem. Nothing for young people to do as they shut down all the sports clubs, social clubs and youth houses. Government don't care, people lose interest. Social degradation grows like a cancer in loveless communities.

I was born and raised in Slough. It was a beautiful and friendly town. It's sad to see what it's become my family still love there. I worked in the criminal justice system. The influx of individuals from war torn places, individuals whose cultures are very different from ours. The city Council infest more into those who never contributee to our system. It has been lead by the Asian communities for decades. Every job is given to Asians and not the Afro Caribbean or white English communities. Many of my family and the West Indian communities don't go into the shit high street. Its got worst over the 12 years since I have been there. I have emigrated to where my parents homeland, as I feel I can no longer live in the country that I was born in. The city Council did nothing for our communities, I was raised on the other side of Bayliss park and when the English and Caribbean communities where using Bayliss park, house, the Orchard center these were well kept. These spaces were given to the Asians and within few years it was a dump and we had no where to go. Chalvey had a strong black west Indian people the majority were from my parents island, we are proud people and loved it we were proud to tell anyone that we were from there, now no one wish to state such things.
Nonsense!
Staff at Slough Borough Council are White, Black, Asian.
Every job is not given to the Asians.
You shouldn't mislead people with such rubbish.
This video is a poor assessment of Slough taken by a person
who needs educating.
All he has achieved is promoting racial hatred, racial tension
and racist views from ignorant people in society.
Just look at the derogatory language used by people leaving
messages.
I think the people who are leaving such messages probably live
in a dump themselves.
Crime, fly tipping and dumping of rubbish was prevalent before.
You say the town was better then?
Homelessness, poverty, crime, fly tipping, all these
issues have existed over the decades.
Blaming one group of people is creating racial hatred.
There's too many people staying in the houses, what don't belong there paying lots of rent, to landlords and also they're not registered.without contracts
You must be mistaken, the Office was based in slough.😮
Love that show.
Why is there so much fly tipping in these areas?
Coz the council charge money to take waste to recycling centres and they changed the bin collections from once a week to once every 2 weeks.
The video is incredibly misleading. I have visited that town in the past because of the movie studios located in and around it which is big business.
The centre is very industrial as it was the biggest trading estate in Europe. However the areas less than mile outside the centre, which all part of slough are very beautiful and nice. The high street looks like that because some years ago the Qataris bought up all of it. It going to have billions of pounds worth of redevelopment, hence why all the shops are empty as leases are not being renewed. Thats because its all going to be knocked down and rebuilt. The town is going through massive redevelopement. The London Tube line has now extended to it, which is going to rocket investment and house prices. According to the figures the town also has the most millionaires in the country. Showing just a few bad corners like every town has, is a very untruthful way to display the town.
It's a fair representation of how Slough is right now. I hope all of that redevelopment happens, but plans change quickly when it comes to funding and redevelopment, I'll be keeping an eye out to see how things improve though. I want the best for areas like this!
I worked in slough 10 yrs ago it was no where near as bad as it is now
wow slough. just how ?
Apparently another issue is aging first generation Asians that have put their kids through school. Kids don't want to work in retail or catering. The parents are left in a nostalgic deadlock. Obvious;y this is not all of the places. Local authorities need proper seizure powers. I am sure there are enough startups that could revive any high street if it was done collectively and ridiculous rents were not a problem.
Millions of Brits have left the country most of my family went decades ago, if i could i would leave tomorrow but where do you go? its the same everywhere.
must be scary to live as well. i wouldnt like to be there at night
Looks great. Why not stick all the illegal immigrants there? They might feel at home?
why don't the council clean the place up a little, it would help
I live here, the council improved public spaces/parks and cleaned up areas with problematic fly tipping. Within months people had dumped more rubbish and vandalised the new equipment in the parks, sometimes it’s peoples poor attitudes and low iq thats the problem, not the council.
Our council is bankrupt 😢😂
13yrs of TORIES !
What the HELL did you expect ? ?
Check out Small Heath Birmingham take protection
It’s a shame.
I was brought up in Britwell and over the years I have left and returned 2 this area where I brought up my own children.... Britwell is a shithole there's no denying that but it's nowhere near as bad as ppl make out !
I live here and it's not as depicted here. In every neighbourhood there are unkempt areas and Slough is no exception.
How is it not as depicted? I took this footage of the actual areas myself. There are no areas like this in the city I live in, absolutely nothing like it. I’m not trying to have a go, it’s possible you don’t know what it’s like in other cities if you don’t travel much.
Where do you live? sure I'll find some crappy areas some distance around for you. London best areas have their dark spots around too. I think Slough is unfairly misrepresented. I live in Cippenham,it may be boring, as most of the UK is, but not a bad area at all. Also: you say "most people in these areas are foreigners", which sounds somewhat classist if not xenophobic.
When did I say that quote?
i mean the only really shit part is the centre and some other areas are bad but not as bad but there are some really nice areas but it can be boring at times
You forgot cippenham
Diversity is their strength.
