I don’t know why we’re so precious about city status in this country.
Must mean they then have bigger grants available, etc..
>Eight towns – Colchester, Doncaster, Milton Keynes, Dunfermline, Wrexham and Bangor – will get city status, along with Stanley in the Falkland Islands, and Douglas on the Isle of Man.
Tough competition
What actually constitutes a City? Having been to Stanley in the Falklands it barely resembles a village…and a very forgettable one at that.
Frankly I’m quite happy with it being a town.
Is that a big pool of blue drink?
Silly nonsense. City status won’t make Doncaster any nicer a place to live.
More distraction – your rent, food and fuel bills are far more than you earn in that zero-hour contract job, but your town is now a city. Rejoice and thank your monarch, ordained by God himself to watch over you.
Get all the bag heads to vote, you will nail it.
It’s bizarre to give it to Milton Keynes but not Middlesbrough.
Middlesbrough has a history and an identity. MK is just a place for a bunch of people to be, with no soul and no particular reason to exist.
Blackburn in shambles. Their cathedral means nothing
Bangor pop(16,358) gets approved but Reading pop(347,310) gets rejected.
