Life in Blackburn
| Blackburn is one of the most deprived Local Authorities
in England and Wales. Only 38% of young people in Blackburn
leave school with 5 GCSEs at grades C and above and the number
of young people on income support is well above the national
average. Rates of violent crime, car theft, and stealing from cars are all significantly higher than average in Blackburn and the North West region uses Anti Social Behaviour Orders more than any other region in England. |
