Middlesbrough Worst Town Award made possible by Mayor Ray Mallon and the Towns Clowns on the Executive. Would thank Location Location Location for highlighting our achievements to date, as time goes by we pledge to retain this honoured title year on year, Middlesbrough Council are proud and ecstatic with the Executive's achievements to date. In point of fact the Executive take extra pride in the world wide fame Middlesbrough now receives due to this our only and best award. Any thoughts that Middlesbrough Executive place any blame on the program makers are unfounded, since Middlesbrough Executive used the very same but slightly more massaged statistics to name TS1 as a Cancer and the Axis of Evil. So we know how valuable fiddling with figures can be to justify our latest ploy of grabbing owner occupied housing and land in Middlesbrough Town Centre.
