Slough ranked as UK's most miserable town due to gangs and high living costs

Slough has been ranked the "most miserable" town in the UK, according to Rightmove's Happy at Home Index. Residents cited issues like a lack of shops, gang activity, and high living costs as major concerns. Despite its challenges, Slough offers good transport links and a large trading estate. However, many locals feel these benefits do not outweigh the problems they face daily. The Slough Council plans to improve the town, including revamping shopping centers, but residents are skeptical about the potential impact. Some express hope for the future, while others believe the town's issues reflect broader trends affecting many areas.
