Doncaster drops out of top 10 of Britain's worst towns in annual survey
and live on Freeview channel 276
The town had been voted into the top ten for two previous years in a row – and was last year named the second worst place in Britain.
But in this year’s rundown, Doncaster has slipped down nine places in the charts to 11th place, with other Yorkshire towns and cities are now placed ahead of it in the rankings.

The survey by website I Live Here named Huddersfield as worst spot in Yorkshire, taking second place nationally behind Peterborough.
Other Yorkshire places making the top ten included Bradford, Hull, Wakefield and Halifax.
In 2019, Doncaster was second and the year before it was voted into fourth spot.

Hide AdLast year, Doncaster people describing their home town gave it a series of scathing reviews.
One said: “A night out in Donny is magical, with bums sitting on steps drinking White Lightning near the old Purple Door strip club or the Jobcentre and lovely ladies with near nothing on, looking to volunteer to contribute to Doncaster’s rising pregnancy rate.
Another wrote: “If you have to come to Doncaster, don’t make eye contact with people in town, avoid parks and estates, and for the love of god use a condom.
“Watch as the local beauties, flabby flesh pouring out from over tight short skirts – ageing 50 somethings in kids’ gear trying to look like Britney Spears… a god awful sight.”
