Despite being ranked as one of the worst places to live in the UK, Tameside boasts a strong sense of community and abundant green spaces.
Boffins have written off Tameside as one of the worst ten areas to live in the country. After a study of data, which included crime levels, the quality of schools, performance of NHS services and the number of parks within the area, Tameside came eighth bottom, 284th place out of 291. Oldham wasn't much higher, following the analysis carried out by The Times newspaper, ranking at 273. Rochdale was 270. Salford was 252, Stockport 236.
Bury was 225, Manchester 216, Trafford 119, Wigan 232 and lastly Bolton in 249. But with Tameside being singled out as within the bottom ten local authorities in the country, we at the M.E.N. wanted to show that being a great place to live is much more about numbers and data. There is an abundance of green spaces across the borough, to get away from the grind and enjoy some peace and tranquility. Werneth Low in Hyde is a popular spot for walkers, and it is also a wildlife haven. On a clear day it provides stunning views of Manchester and as far away as Liverpool or even the Welsh mountains. Daisy Nook in Ashton is another green oasis for residents, with a lake, canal and woodlands. Take a stroll up to Hartshead Pike which overlooks Ashton-under-Lyne, or to Gorse Hall which overlooks Stalybridge and borders Dukinfield. And there are about 20 parks across the borough for walks, to kick a ball around or for the little ones to run wild in play areas. And the Peak District is right on its doorstep. Tameside is a place where people care about each other. Every day, acts of kindness go under the radar, with community groups and other volunteers doing their bit.
