agree it's crap have defended it
Who's churned up the verges?
Stone houses and a pinfold for stray cows. The vandals have rather spoilt the effect.
Warmsworth is an old stone village outside Doncaster with a quarry, a gorge and a pinfold for stray cows. Cars park on the verges and turn them into mud, High Road queues every morning, and the Don Gorge is full of litter.
13.3% of the food places score 0 to 2, over five times the typical town's share. Stuff gets torched at six and a half times the typical town's rate, the bins at about fourteen times. Burglary's two and a half times the typical town's and car crime nearly three. Both public pools have shut since 2010. The cows in the pinfold had it easy.
