  • Its defenders say it has improved since it was the heroin capital of the North East in the 90s. I would not live there if I had the choice - Ashington is better if you need to be in that part of the county.

  • I would suggest that you look at the local authorities’ website or police.gov to see what the crime statistics etc for this area are. You can also look at the local tourist board website which gives you an up to date overview of the area. I would also visit the area and ask some locals.

  • It depends on what part of blyth. South Beach is the best area but also the most expensive, cowpen quay is the worst but also the cheapest. avoid disraeli street and that area. The town has improved vastly in the last 20 years, all the social problems appear to have moved north to ashington.
