So the person who renamed it was wrong.

The article makes accusations of copious drugs, cheap booze and bad dentistry.
That's EVERYWHERE in England

I just remember delivering parcels for a little while in Whitehawk shortly after a poor youngster had been stabbed to death in a presumably a chav dispute. It just seemed to be a rough area that I was happy to get away from. Even some of the local shops had metal railings to protect them from vandalism.
I have lived in London for 27 years and Portslade still scares me when I go there

Can't believe no-one has mentioned Hastings as yet, what a f*cking dump.
Just to balance the eternal East/West Sussex debate I will also call out Littlehampton as somewhere you really don't need to go...

I won't say it isn't rough and there was some nasty incidents when I lived there, but I never had any problems and wasn't scared of walking the streets even at night.
Most days nothing happened and people just got on with their lives.

+ Eastbourne.
Can't believe Portslade is being labelled as a Chav Town.
The only fairly grim part of the area is just West of Fishersgate station but that's not even too bad compared to Whitehawk, Scoomb and even parts of Hangleton.
I lived in Foredown Drive, Portslade from 1963 till 1976. Portslade was lovely.
Mind you, the 'toy shop' at he top west end of boundary road, by the A27 junction, had to be one of the chavviest nightmare shite holes of all Christendom. The smell in there was positively extreme, like baked beans fermenting on a dead man's chest. Anyone else remember it? And the owner, a shouty woman of grotesque visage, made this 'local shop' look like Harrods.

Whitehawk is scary ?? Really ??
Albumen
Don't wait for me!
For a place that has just gone through the biggest growth in house prices in the south over the last 18 months, Portslade is far from desperate. Areas south of OSR and most of the village is very nice indeed.
Isn't The area west of Fishersgate Station Southwick ?
Whitehawk? Small town mentality morons. About as scary as f****** blancmange.

Toys N Togs.
Grew up in Portslade, I was back there last month. The house prices around Norway St. have certainly shot up. The Railway Inn formerly the Whistlestop is a great pub now.

Shouldn't that be, 'Is it any WEST of East Worthing'?
(To which the answer is. of course. yes)
