The 9 worst things about Worksop...

1. Parking Eye cameras at the Priory Shopping Centre

A shopping centre in Gainsborough has recently terminated the contract of a parking management company by mutual consent following a number of complaints from customers. The amount of people who still contact the Guardian about the Parking Eye cameras at the Priory Centre still shows no signs of slowing down...

2. Topless louts when the sun comes out

9. Flytipping
