Too ugly to live: the award-winning town begging to be put out of its
misery on TV
By Alan Hamilton and Sophie Kirkham
Cumbernauld leapt at the chance when demolition was offered as a prize
....
In 2003 The Idler’s Book of Crap Towns, naming it the second-worst place
to live in the UK — beaten only by Hull — said of it: “Town planning
students visit Cumbernauld as an example of what not to do.” To cap it
all, a survey last year named Cumbernauld as the town with the most
shopping trolleys dumped in the streets.
