Hagley – The Essex of the Midlands
The main problem with chavs from Hagley is that they all have so much money and really should know better – what with them all having multi-millionaire parents, living in houses that are at the cheapest end of the scale £250,000. These chavs can afford to shop in the best shops and eat in the most fancy of restaurants but they choose Stourbridge/Merry Hill market for their clothes or Olivios/McDonalds for their nasty takeaway food after they’ve been to the legendary place that is the picture house.
Don’t get me wrong – I have spent many a good night at the picture house and many hagley residents are lovely people (my best friend actually lives there) the younger ones don’t seem to have as much class as their money would suggest.
These so-called ‘posh’ chavs can regularly be seen sitting outside the most expensive fish and chips shop in the country (it has been voted the best in the country though & these kids can afford it) or at the train station. Very few trains actually pass through hagley train station as these kids have cars (brand new corsas/saxos/clios no less) as soon as they turn 17 or their mummys and daddys will drive them round in their 4×4 – central trains have realised that trains are not the desired mode of transport for these priveliged children with a penchant for louis vuitton, burberry, von dutch (all real daaaaling).
It’s not just the kids that are a problem though – it is a regular sight to see a short fat man with gold jewellery and a dolled up glamorous blonde – Hagley is full of used car salesmen pretending that it is still appropriate for them to venture into stourbridge high street at night.
Some chavs I feel cannot help to behave as they do – but the Hagley massive have been brought up in splendour – wanting for nothing in life – but look how they have turned out.

Enough said ; ). I’m sure it’s a joke article.
I live in Hagley, im 31 and rent a property here, and work in the village , and i can tell you there are no chavs in Hagley, rich parents and kid yes some , but alot of them just pretend to have lots of money , but dont, and regular sight to see a short fat man with gold jewellery and a dolled up glamorous blonde never seen any, Hagley is a quiet place and most people are actully very nice, and the kids are not that bad
What a joke, hagleys full of wanabes, there is a 0% crime rate and nothing bad ever happens, they venture to stourbridge once a week and scurry home as soon as they get knocked out by us RAW guys from stourbridge x
What a load of balls. I Can’t believe all youths are being classed as a ‘Chav’ just because they’re hanging around outside a shop. How much graffiti or any criminal damage do you see in Hagley ? Or large groups of youths on a friday night causing trouble ? None.
Dear commenter,
I happened to stumble across this site purely by accident and wasn’t surprised to find Hagley on here, but it definitely isn’t the worst! I do not live in Hagley but have gone to school at both the middle and the high school there and still do. Although the village seems to be littered with chavs i assure you compared to many other towns i know of we are blessed to have a very small number!
I feel like i almost have to defend Hagley as its like a second home to me and i dont think all of the young people in the village should be tarnished with the same brush! but i can understand your frustration at the gatering numbers around the station and chip shop, as i am a youth myself and the so called ‘chavs’ also frustrate me!
However these ‘rich kids’ have nothing better to do in the evenings and weekends so are forced to ‘hang’ around! if you feel so strongly about this then instead of complaining then maybe working with the youths of Hagley to build an organisation with them so that they have something to do in their spare time? This would benefit you and the community?!
I am currently doing community work in Hagley for the elderly and am finding it very educational, so maybe you would find it educational as well to see that everyone isn’t the same! You get out of life what you put in and at only 16 i hope you are older and wiser to know this.
