MID, Wolverhampton
Sunday, August 28, 2022
Good access to city center and shops, also very good public transport network. Renting prices are pretty good, similar or lower than most other cities I've lived in, just make sure you get a hakf-decent landlord. Fairly quiet compared to most inner-city areas, even at nights and weekends. Green areas like West Park are pretty cool and chill, well within walking distance.

Discrimination by Postcode
You really couldn't make it up, could you? Some of the country's most vulnerable people are missing out on their weekly £25 Cold Weather Payment, just because the system that's in operation is discriminating against them because payments are based on postcode, rather than geographic location.
The Redesign is Underway
