The Worst Things in South Woodham Ferrers, Essex*

The entirely missable and worth mentioning because of it

You can tell us more about South Woodham Ferrers.

The Worst Things
  • The Local Youth; Whom of which hang around Trinity Square of which attempt to intimidate any passer-bys, in their groups, mostly just riding around on bikes, others taking the mickey of whoever they see, quite terrible, but also common in England.
  • Having to pay 4.80 for a return to the nearest gud town with nefin like a club or bar and the buses stop cumin back to Woodham at 11.30
  • state of saltcotes football pitches
  • trains,pubs,excuse for entertainment and clubs...oh and ray durrant.
  • to many police
  • The CHAVS!!! Watch out for them! I mean, they must be the coolest HARDEST people EVER to sit on a church wall every friday night!
  • The Southminster Branch Line train service, which stops at Woodham Ferrers.
  • The fact that most of the slags trade STD's like pokemon cards
  • Residents frequently come to Rayleigh!
  • Drugs, fashion victims, lack of things to do such as swimming, cinema, no culture--limited transport to get out of the damn place. Asda owning the town centre and increasing the rents on all of the small business's or selling the same product at a far cheaper price so that they go out of business, should call the place asda ham. Other peoples cats and trying not to run them over they are everywhere
  • phuck all to do
  • Appalling train service (infrequent & don't run past 10pm), no cops...town owned by any gang of drunk teenyboppers after 9pm. Miles from any major hospital...if you get seriously ill then you better be able to drive fast (min 10 miles either way (baz/broomfield). Get shafted something cronic by chelmsford council when it comes to spending council tax money here...it's taken over 20 years just to get a pool. Minimal employment, if you don't want to work in a shop then you've got to commute to chelmsford or worse still...baz!
  • Oaklands to Tigers
  • Trendies and twats in Tigers.
  • The yobs that walk around trying to start fights with strangers and wannabee London gangsters, GROW UP!
  • The new fast 36X service to chelmsford! Goes up the "New road"! Shame its to early to be of any use! And theres not one to bring you home!
  • Leave early, get 'home' late because of the slow, expensive trains, get woken up by boy racers and drunks at night. Go to the town crier and see the same people that were on the train. Get run over by serial mothers and their children at Asda on saturday.
  • The fact that the last bus back from Chelmsford is at 10:45. Thats 'kin awful! Want to finally go to a decent pub coz the ones here are sh*te, and you have to leave at that hour?!?! have to settle for the Whalebone then...
  • The drugs!
  • kingdom hall, and shaw farm my mum had drugs put in her drink...
  • A massive police station with no police present,ever! where are you all? The bomb site next to the Flix Cinema and no trains or busses unless you have an hour to spend waiting.The dogs shite everywhere because of the lazy uneducated owners who live here!
  • everything appart from Friday nights
  • crap trains!!!!
  • It is a bit boring for young people so you have to wait untill you are driving to get out of woodham coz the transport is Sh*t.
  • Keith Chegwin not being a resident here
  • Asda's cleaners, they're shit man
  • Does Anyone know what the point of compass gardens is? when we have asked for a swiming pool!! its about time the council get it sorted!
  • THE YOBS IN THE TOWN SQUARE, WHO DO NOTHING BUT SIT ON THEIR ARSES SHOUTING ABUSE OR SMOKE ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES. The Bloody Town Council, who WE pay for, are nothing more than a talking shop, simply another layer of red-tape. Dissolve the Town Council NOW
  • Some one please open a club!!! and I don't mean Tiger Joes!.
  • WHY was there no bands at the bandstand this bank holiday?????????(29/5/00) It's one of the really decent things that SWF has got to offer that no other town can boast about, and there was nothing to be seen! PLEASE LET THERE BE ONE IN AUGUST OR I SHALL MOVE TO CORRINGHAM!
  • inadequate train service, and inadequate bus service to Basildon,Chelmsford,etc, LEN SPOONER'S BLOODY POEMS!!! HAVEN'T WE HAD ENOUGH NOW?
  • The inhabitants! The horrendous drugs problem.
  • Isolated a bit bus not very regular. no teenage appealing shops.
  • THE GREATER SPOTTED YOOFS HANGING AROUND THE STATION AND TOWN CENTRE AT NIGHT - DO THEY NOT HAVE HOMES TO GO TO ? THE HUNDREDS OF DRUNKEN YOBBOS & YOBBESSES THAT COME OUT OF THE PUBS AND WRECK HAVOC AS THEY WALK HOME - BELCHING, YELLING, RIPPING THINGS UP AND 3 IN THE MORNING. DO NOT LIVE ON INCHBONNIE ROAD BY THE TOWN AS YOU ARE AWOKEN EVERY FRIDAY & SATURDAY BY THOSE LOWLIFE.
  • Great Eastern Railway ! WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO IMPROVE OUR SERVICE UP TO LONDON THEN ?? I think that having a train every 50 mins and paying £2,400 season ticket is outrageous.
  • the frequent drive by shootings
  • The yoofs with Skateboards (Wooders), the strong commuter atmosphere, the new houses (big and nice but not fitting in with the older bits), lack of pubs/clubs, lack of swimming pool
  • we need more clothes shops
  • The boarders - who seem to loosely tolerate each other but are randomly hostile to other passers-by
  • Can get boring at night for the younger people.
