Bradford locals have dubbed the city 'lawless' after it was voted among the worst places to live in England.
The West Yorkshire city was savaged in an online poll released last week as being rife with drug crime and career criminals.
Despite boasting a university and stunning city centre architecture, some locals said the best thing they could say about the place was how quickly you could get to Leeds and Manchester.
In the shadow of the grade II listed 19th Century city hall - recently visited by King Charles - people can be seen openly drinking booze and taking drugs.
And in the city's notorious Holme Wood housing estate, locals said bus and taxi drivers daren't venture down certain streets for fear of attacks from feckless youths.
Speaking under the condition of anonymity, one local said of the poll: 'I'm surprised it wasn't higher.
'I'd rate it in the top five. I've moved around the country and there are some rough places, but it is bad here. It's lawless.'
Several taxi companies have listed the estate as a 'no-go' area are drivers were left with black eyes, while others were subjected to being harassed for money after their windows were smashed in.
