Inside Gorton Manchester – Life, Crime & Reality in 2026

Welcome to Gorton, Manchester — an area with a long history, a tough reputation, and a future that’s still being shaped. In this video, I explore what life in Gorton is really like in 2026, looking at the crime, community, regeneration projects, and everyday reality behind the headlines.

Gorton has gone through major changes over the years, from its industrial roots and working-class heritage to periods of decline, rising crime, and now ongoing regeneration. We visit key locations across the area, including housing estates, local streets, community hubs, and regeneration sites like the Gorton Hub, to see how things are changing today.

This video also looks at Gorton’s crime reputation, including youth violence, anti-social behaviour, vehicle crime, and how Greater Manchester Police and local authorities are responding. We talk about local concerns, fast migration, community tensions, and the impact of new housing developments and investment in the area.

So is Gorton dangerous in 2026? Does it carry the reputation people say? Or is it a neighbourhood in transition that’s slowly improving? Watch to see the real side of Gorton Manchester — beyond the stereotypes — and decide for yourself.
