It's these young, trendy, uni towns (Lancaster, Chester, York etc...) where we will continue to struggle in. Nice to think of those 3 such venerable places as young and trendy actually |

You'd think the Leiston count would be quick, as they can tally 6 votes on each hand.

Perhaps in my will I should leave a bequest towards the foundation of the University of Mansfield and the University College of Ashfield......... Well, having once been the largest UK town without a station, Mansfield may well now be one of the largest UK towns without a university, so why not. |

Well, having once been the largest UK town without a station, Mansfield may well now be one of the largest UK towns without a university, so why not. This leads to an interesting question - which town/city in the UK is the largest without a university? Swindon and Southend are good contenders, but both have campuses (AFAIK rather small ones) for Oxford Brookes and Essex respectively. Bournemouth is a potential winner on technicality - both Bournemouth University and Arts University Bournemouth are in the Borough of Poole (as Poole Station's signs quite proudly state!). However, the fact that part of the joint campus complex border is also part of the Bournemouth-Poole border makes this even more tenuous. |

Mansfield does have, apparently, Vision University Centre offering University level courses... Maidstone? |

It's population certainly makes it a worthy contender. I have an odd feeling that another factor isn't met though. |
