Dover has been named one of the country's worst towns to live in.

The website ilivehere.co.uk, which pokes fun at grot spots, gives the town the dubious title of the 10th worst place to live in England.

While it may not be a welcome honour, it is an improvement on last year, when the port town clinched the top spot.

The website describes the area as "one of the biggest dumps in the south east", adding: "Dover has been through many stages in its development to reach its present day chavley splendor.

"So please if you’re ever in the area and fancy a visit, pop down to Dover and sample some 'culcha'."

The website claims to have surveyed 31,191 of its readers to compile the chart, which puts Bristol and Blackburn in joint ninth place, Accrington in eighth, Hull in seventh and Castleford in sixth.

Fifth place goes to Blackpool, Rochdale comes fourth, Liverpool third, and Rotherham second, while first place was 'awarded' to Huddersfield.
