Richmond Pleased With Itself: Rest Of London Says Meh

This just in from the No Shit, Sherlock newsroom: people in Richmond and the City are more (self) satisfied with their lot than people in Barking and Dagenham. The "Place Survey" from the Department of Communities and Local Government measures residents' perceptions of their local area and services. The City came top, but Richmond claims the City's tiny population is "statistically insignificant" and claims victory. Seriously guys, get a life. Barking and Dagenham came bottom of the list, with only 56% approving of their quality of life. It's good to see Hazel Blears was in charge of some top-notch, groundbreaking, research before she got caught flipping her homes.
