If you're around, be sure to check these things out

You can tell us more about Leighton Buzzard.

• Everyone knows everyone. Its small, scummy, full of chavs, drugs and fights, but its home :D
• Fuk all u sayin leighton is nice and low crime try saying that to tera tribe look for the tt tag around lb try sayin leighton aint bad then come to the council estate areas then you will want to leave and good we dont want fassies like you living here
• leighton is what you make of it, opportunities for those who try.
• true the crime rate might not be as bad as dunstable but i wouldnt say its less than double than dunstable, the estates in leighton are worse than dunstables the reason crime is quite high over there is because its right next to luton so easy for the criminals over there to go and commit crimes there. avoid meadow way and a few other estates (cant remeber their names) like the plague!
• Cheap Weed
• If you want ot get mugged or buy some crack then this is the place for you!
• NOTHING.
• The Bypass!! (and this from someone whos lived here 35 years....)
• The Anchor Tilsworth
• nice people
• The Market when its not raining, the surrounding villages and the people who try to make life better, despite those around them that insist on making it more difficult. Three Locks golf course.
• We have 5* toiets!
• The town has a very low crime rate below the national average and half that of neighbouring towns such as Dunstable. Good train service to London 35mins, and Milton Keynes 15mins. The multi-story has been refurbished, and the new loos have won national awards two years running. Attractive countryside walks can be accessed fromthe town centre via the canal and river. Excellant festival days held each year -May Day Fair, Carnival, Canal Festival and Living History Day
• LB is famous for sod-all really, which is a huge plus. I lived in London for 15 years so it's a hell of a relief to live in a town where there's NO TOURISTS. Londoners take note, property prices are low, you're half an hour away from Euston, you're never more than 10 minutes walk away from some nice country walks and there's NO TOURISTS. I realise I've made that point before but it's such a good one I felt it was worth the effort.
• Becoming a bit of a chav fest, which is always amusing. Its a great night out, loads of locals who are keen to welcome outsiders... K16 are the best thing
• The people and the kindness.
• GOTHALLICA SHOP!!! shops that sell cigarettes to underage kids like me!!
• the cube room?
• I have just moved to the area and I think it's great. The people are nice, the pubs are quaint (although oddly shaped) and the whole town is a joy to walk around. I live in the town centre and I'm enjoying every minute. The place that I couldn't wait to LEAVE is North Wales. The place is SO good that (as far as I have seen) Goths and Townies get along! I haven't been called "Goth" in a grunting pre-pubescent mumble yet, which is saying something! Sure, I've had a few looks, but one guy even complemented me as he walked past, so something MUST be good about this town.
• The ease of getting a bit of filth in Shades on the weekend. Wrap it up though boys, my mate caught something of one particularly filthy one from meadow way.....
• leaving, i was born and lived there 27 years. best thing ever was leaving theres nothing there to make you stay. expnsive, full of twats and no nitelife worth taking about.
• Shades Shades Shades on a friday night!
• Leaving Leighton Buzzard almost 20 years ago!!!
• home
• A really sleepy old fashioned town, with nice friendly people. It's like you used to remember the world was 20 years ago before the streets were dirty. The canal is heavenly, really relaxing and a great place to spend a sunny sunday afternoon. It even has a steam railway, what more do you wnat.
• leighton buzzard isnt that bad! it has good schools! you CAN go out and not get beaten up (from experience). it cud b a lot worse
• The good atmosphere!
• The Market, The Roebuck pub, the library and theatre, Goodwins bookshop
• THE ASHWELL ARMS
• I have lived in Leighton Buzzard for twenty years and I've never been knifed or glassed. There is a very nice public library, plenty of nice shops with nice people, and plenty of places for walks in the countryside. The High Street is scary? Who writes ome of this drivel?
• Centre of the Known Universe
• Pages Park, a few decent pubs like the Three Locks, some nice estates. The people around the shops in the town centre are mostly helpful and friendly. Lots of useful charity shops (well, if you hunt out-of-print books they're useful)
• Leighton Town Football Club, top quality football in Ryman Division Three, they may not be very good but there hearts in the right place.
• Leaving Leighton
• Good market, nice people....
• The canal for nice walks. Narrow gauge railway (small train service running all around and through parts of town) Trains LEAVE for london every 15 minutes or so Reubens sandwich shop
