Biggest shithole in manchester?

That’s one thing I do like about Wythenshawe. I feel like we get a bad rep but generally people look after their houses and flats around here (I’m in Baguley). I even find Civic itself to be very clean and tidy. I find round here much cleaner and tidier and better presented by residents than the further into the core city you get.

I actually quite liked the craziness of Wythenshawe. I'd never bring my son up there, but I had a lot of funny memories from my childhood.

There are some rough people there, but on the whole, I thought people were pretty nice and the area didn't look like a dump.

I was at Wythenshawe Hospital yesterday and coming home the road I needed was closed, it was dark and the diversion sign pointed right but it hadn’t said it before the lights so I was in the wrong lane and had to go left! I ended up going through an estate, pitch black, no idea where I was, no signs so just following my instincts and sense of direction (?).
In daylight it used to be very much every street looks alike so you can imagine what it’s like in the dark!, :-)
As luck would have it I eventually arrived back at the Motorway roundabout but a different road from normal. :-)
At night it looked ok, tree lined streets, grass verges, little lay-byes so I wondered what it would look like these days in daylight. I had friends who lived on Wythenshawe years ago and the people were lovely, what we used to call salt of the earth.

One stand out from my childhood was that it was green, I don't remember it being rough but apparently it has changed a fair bit since I left and never went back.
 
As already been said, there are quite a few contenders and it all depends where you are from and what you are used to. I was originally a Gorton lad way back and remember a good childhood. It has definitely gone downhill since! That Monsall, Collyhurst, Cheetham Hill corridor running just north of the centre is pretty grim nowadays imho.

Unless you were a red getting off the 53 at the Lake Hotel.

Or a red on the 210 going past the Lake Hotel along Hyde Road as it got bricked.
