Is Bedford or Peterborough in UK a bad area to live?

I rent out properties and you are not going to get ANY good areas ANYWHERE in the UK at £350 per month which is what $550 converts to................. now if you put a $ instead of a £ you will find some you just need to put your criteria in http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/find.html?locationIdentifier=REGION%5E629&maxPrice=400&radius=20.0 http://www.look4aproperty.com/rent-property/p41/hertfordshire.asp http://www.zoopla.co.uk/to-rent/property/hertfordshire/?q=hertfordshire http://www.magnoliaproperties.co.uk/rentalpropertyhertfordshire.htm http://homes.trovit.co.uk/for-rent-hertfordshire

Both Bedford and Peterborough have very large numbers of immigrants ,Bedford's are mainly Asian immigrants and Peterborough have a large Eastern European populace . Given a choice I personally would opt for Peterborough ,but then again Bedford is not all that bad ,but I would probably like to live in Cambridgeshire ,for it's scenic qualities than I would above the others you have listed.

Peterborough really isn't as bad as people say, but it can be a little bit sh!t. Well, it's one of the greenest cities/towns in the UK, as in it has lots of greenery. It has one of the best road systems in the UK. It should be noted that we have one of the highest immigrant populations in the UK, some parts of it feel more like Lithuania. It has a fantastic cathedral right in the middle. If I've got my figures right, it's had the highest economic growth of all the cities in the UK in the past ten years. Things are looking great for its footy team. Oakham Ales in Peterborough make the best beer in the world, in my opinion. The people, well, many are normal, but there's an overwhelming amount of rabid potty mouths and drugies, but that's probably true of most large towns. One two many mosques. It's way better than Bedford anyway.
