Readers have been having their say on whether Didcot is a good place to live.

In January, Didcot was voted the 44th worst place to live by satirical website I Live Here after a ‘record-breaking’ 125,681 people voted.

Now Didcot has the chance of redeeming itself as the list has reopened to public votes for the 2022 rankings.

“I would rather live in Didcot than pretentious, overpriced Oxford.

"At least Didcot can say that it is not responsible for producing creatures like Boris Johnson and David Cameron. That makes it far superior to Oxford.”

OXFORD MAIL READER: “Nimbys, who have moved recently into a village near me, where there is a shortage of housing for priced-out locals, and they want to keep it that way, are known for telling people who want to live in the village that they can always live in Didcot. I don’t suppose it’s because the nimbys think that it’s a wonderful town though, more like they don’t want the village cluttered up with simple country folk.”
