Huddersfield is NOT the worst place to live in England, despite taking an early lead in the competition no town wants to win.

In fact, our town didn't even finish in the Top 10 Worst Places To Live In England 2017, run by iLiveHere .

When the poll was launched earlier this year, Huddersfield was in the lead with nearly 6% of the vote .

This was ahead of towns like Bradford, Oldham, Rochdale and Hull which made the final list.

Huddersfield has previously appeared on iLiveHere where it was described as 'chav infested' and an 'absolute cr*p hole' .

Not all of Huddersfield looks like this - in fact, most of it doesn't.

We disagreed and we gave seven reasons why Huddersfield is a great place to live .

Naturally we were happy to see it absent from this shortlist of shame.

Here are the towns that made the Top 10 Worst Places To Live In England 2017:

10) Blackpool

'The most deprived town in England according to the ONS.'

8) Sunderland

'Sunderland’s only real claim to fame is that it has the highest rate of teen pregnancies in the Europe.'
