Mon, 29 Aug 2011 15:48:57 +0000 #comment-264037 This is a sign of the times and throughout history there have been problems on the streets and I agree some places are worse than others but why slate Golborne? Most people I know that have the audacity to condemn a once beautiful place to live (in most areas of the town), are the ones that have no intention of getting up off their backside and doing anything about it. Most are jobless and have no intention of finding work. I can tell you now if I had my way the low lifes that chose to laugh at me each time I take off to work sometimes 7 days a week sometimes gone for days on end, to support and care for people who would love to go to work and be able to use their limbs and put their minds to make contributions financially to society. Due to disability these people are unable to do so. I get back from work and cant park my brand new car In the street for fear of damage that noone ever sees the jealous lowlife that did it and so I have to park a mile and half away to park on a family members property. Then you get the lowlifes with too much time on their hands reporting me to the housing dept for not living in the property because I am at work paying my taxes so they can live in luxury and have their supply of cans and fags to sit out with their gas barbecue cooking for their families, (yet more generation after generation of scroungers). To put top hat on it I get a letter from my council about the state me my garden due to not having time and physically not being able to do them due to injuries I incurred from a car accident 4 years ago and yes I could have milked the system but I have my pride. I have quite a few kids and I gave them everything I have worked hard every day of adult life and each one of my kids works and yes I was a single parent All my life I have worked from the age of 15 and it leaves a sour taste in my mouth when someone slates the very place they have sat on their backside and done nothing about when they have all the time in the world to make living there a nicer and better place. To the point I was going to make if I had my way the scroungers would only get their benefit for the hours put into the community be that policing it, cleaning it, protecting the vulnerable or just helping out the tax payers and being proud people with dignity and I tell you what that would soon fill the job centers with people actively seeking work. So the moral me the story we can all scot on on behind txt so do something about it get off your backsides and change it and if you dont work in find a job you will have less time to spend moaning about it.

Yes, chavs hang around places and it makes you feel uncomfortable but that's just a minor amount of Golborne's population. Every town or city will have chavs so the fact that you are just magnifying Golborne is cruel and uncalled for. Moreover the point you called everyone 'retards' clearly illustrates you know nothing about the general people who live in Golborne. I suggest in the future you get to know the place a bit better before stereo-typing everybody who lives in it. I live in Golborne, of course it has its faults.

I live in Golborne, and fair enough, there are Chavs about, but you can't exactly call it a chav town when there are the same amount of them as any other small town. Also, the Town Square and ASDA car park only have Chavs on them on the weekends, and not for long. This is because most of them move on to larger towns such as Lowton or Wigan. I also go to Golborne High School. I'm not yet in year 11 and I already have two A*s in maths, and A* in art&design, and A in Maths Statistics, and an A in Forensic Studies. Not forgetitng I still have many exams to sit. So clearly, we are not all 'retards' as you call us. Also, I personally do not own a single tracksuite. Not even for P.E. Fair enough, you have your opinions and I have mine. I just really don't think it's right to stereotype all of Golborne because of the experiences you may have had. Just saying. LMAO.

There are some real characters living in Golborne and a strong sense of community pervades. People tend to have a great sense of humour and the town's boundaries are marked by quite nice countryside and open spaces. The people of Golborne played an important part in the industrial revolution and its position almost equidistant between the towns of Wigan and Warrington (5 to 6 miles) and between major cities Manchester and Liverpool (17 miles) means it has been strategically important. Having so many urban centres on the doorstop offers a great choice of nightlife, shopping and cultural activity outside of Golborne itself which has little. Haydock Park Racecourse and Keepers' woods are two glorious landmarks with the renowned wildlife sanctuary of Pennington Flash only a couple of minutes away, whilst the aforementioned 'bonk' acts as a reminder to Golborne's mining heritage. Most families who predate the intake from Liverpool in the 1970s will have mining strongly entwined in their genes. Like many town centres the disenfranchised youth hang around and add a depressing feature in the evenings but that is not peculiar to Golborne. Many talented and hard-working people stay with the town and work hard with their reward being the community who inspire and support. It's not a bad town at all. You realise this if you try and move away. Tom I was born in Golborne and grew up in the town and can say with confidence there are few places with a better community spirit.

But, many of these chavs, do not atchually wear tracksuits, and I think you over exaggurating. Many of these chavs are atchually not bad people. On the other hand, there are some tango-ed girls, and i do agree with what your saying about a few of the chavs that live in Golborne & Lowton, but you are exaggerating. I go to Golborne High & my sister has just left and got A's & A*'s , so it isnt really fair to tar everyone with the same brush just because they go to Golborne High School. There are a lot of bright kids in there, but people focus on the ones that are just not intelligent. Most of these chavs in Golborne are atchually harmless,i am just a normal person ! and i have never got shouted by chavs around golborne. Obviously Golborne is not one of the nicest places but It isnt exactly one of the worst places to live. I think people need to stop focusing on the bad things about Golborne, it's okay to have a rant on the internet just because some random chav gave you abuse but it isnt fair to tar everyone with the same brush because of it. @ds, your just making Golborne seem as bad as the authour of this article is making it out to be. Obviously you are one of these "chavs" , that people tar our village with. :/ I Live On Park Road and that is a very quiet street :-) x Mmm, I live in Golborne, and you are right about the chavs that sit on the town square and at ASDA carpark LOL.
