LETTER: South Holland is worst place to live

After reading the national papers they state that, Rushmoor, Hampshire is the happiest place to live.

South Holland, Lincs, is the worst.

It makes you wonder why our area is rated as the worst?

Driving into town, the state of the roads, which also are the worst in the country.

You go into Spalding town centre shopping, it is slowly becoming all Eastern European shops and charity shops.

Nearly getting run over with people on bikes, street drinking etc, empty and derelict buildings, a major lack of police in the district.

What is there to make people smile? I’m sure someone out there will tell us!

Has South Holland become the forgotten district of the country? Very sad!
