Laura Mills clearly your definition of sh*T hole is different to others.
Worthing’s not perfect nowhere is, but following the Albion around the country for over 40 years there’s far worse places you could live in.
Unfortunately Worthing has had a tendency to shoot itself in the foot ( at times with a machine gun), the loss of wide ranging retail is a huge factor, clearly partly caused by the internet but also the fact that the Council let Tescos and Sainsburys move out of the Town Centre in the 80s and 90s respectively.
WBC could have compulsory purchased the Guildbourne Centre and given it to Tesco for exclusive use, instead of them moving to Durrington, and when Sainsburys decamped to Lyons Farm there was talk but nothing ever happened of them being sold Teville Gate to build their superstore, on the edge of the Town Centre.
It’s not rocket science if people come into Town for food shopping they are going to visit other shops as well
Ms Mills why not try living in Croydon?
