the best and worst areas in Sheffield

Yes, but Dore is not a suburb of Sheffield - it's a village (as its residents never tire of reminding us)

So should it have been included?

Of course its in Sheffield. Its well within Sheffields boundary, has an S17 postcode, an 0114 phone number, etc etc.

Have any of the areas changed?:confused:

Chesterfield has an S postcode, but it's clearly not in Sheffield.

What about Firth park, Southey, Shiregreen? How do these areas compare in people's estimation?

I think you will find that any poll is not representative unless all the different locations are added, and that the people participation are from a wide cross section. The results tell me that the people who participated probably came from south sheffield. :|
