Worst town in Wales

[Rjk]

We've had the best, where is the worst?

[blueblade]

Newport for me.

I know some people will rightly say Maesteg, Penrhys, Maerdy etc but at least these towns know they are shite heaps.

Newport residents try their hardest to convince that the town (City) is now nice!

The shit parts of newport are REALLY shit that's true.

there are some nice parts too though.

I suppose the Celtic Manor is nice if that counts.

Isn't that what everybody everywhere does?

Newport was made a city for a dare.

[The Bob Banker Spanker]

Plenty of dumps down South but I think the North got their fair share as well.
Rhyl...Christ.

[Rjk]

Yeah I've never been to Rhyl, but I've heard nothing good about the place

[kendoddsdadsdogsdead]

went to Rhyl once..full of Scouse *****

Neither Maerdy or Penrhys are towns and Newport is a City.

[kendoddsdadsdogsdead]

Maesteg it is then

[binman]

I lived in Townhill, Swansea for a year thirty years ago

That has to be up there

[Trigger]

Port Talbot, not sure I've ever stopped but anywhere that inspired the dystopian setting of blade runner has to be up there.

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

In the winter Porthcawl is a place of death and decay

[Citizen's Nephew]

In the winter Porthcawl is a place of death and decay

That's really poetic. And very, very true.

[Hilts]

In the winter Porthcawl is a place of death and decay

And in the Autumn full of Elvis lookalikes.

Cwm. Nothing there but houses with a road to somewhere else cut through the middle of it.
Every time I go there I try to imagine how many houses they demolished to build it? From the size of the 2 bits that are left it must have been half the town.

This might help the discussion and even trigger worst city and villages threads. That said anything beating Rhyl and Port Talbot must have some unredearming features

That list is wrong. It doesn't have Llandaff as a city and it has had a diocesan cathedral since Cardiff was a hamlet. (Or was it a cheroot? )

perhaps because it is a list of towns

Doesn't have Cwm as well for some reason. Ah well, best use your list!

Are you talking about the bypass? No houses were demolished in the building of the bypass.

[xsnaggle]

That's reassuring, but driving down it one can't help thinking there were. It's almost like a place cut in half.

Cowbridge.
Ok , i am a bit biased but it is a town that really wants to be in Sussex or Surrey and very much looks down on its big brother on the coast. Not to mention how much that new farm shop off the A48 charges for the stuff on sale.
