Luton scoops 'crappiest' crown

1 October 2004

Noted by survey respondents as the home of a package holiday airport, Vauxhall cars and ugly architecture, the Bedfordshire town of Luton will now be known as the "crappiest" town in Britain after being voted the worst place to live. More than 20,000 people voted in a survey for the book Crap Towns II: The Nation Decides, which placed Windsor and Sunderland at second and third place. One of the book's compilers, Sam Jordison, said: "Luton was the one that really stood out and the simple reason is that it is incredibly ugly."

Sickness among police community support officers (PCSOs) is rising, sparking fears that the monotony and day-to-day routine of their roles is leading to apathy among workers, according to findings published this week. A report by the Metropolitan Police says that in the 12 months to the end of May 2004, PCSOs took an average 11.4 days off sick, compared with an 8.3 day average for police officers. But a break down of the figures shows that PCSOs based in communities averaged only 3.7 sick days, and that those officers with transport and security roles - 12.9 sick days and 17.4 sick days respectively - took the most time off.
