Cognitive Surplus in Wisbech?


In the Wisbech Discussion Forum there are currently views from those who see the town as a beautiful place that is friendly for families to visit and others who see it as unattractively litter strewn and populated by threatening and disgusting drunks. Who is right? Are they all correct, maybe seeing different parts of town at different times of day?
