'Best place to live'
In August 2005 the borough was declared best local authority area to live in the United Kingdom by the Channel 4 programme The Best and Worst Place to Live in the UK. The low crime rate, good education and open spaces were cited as attractive. By October 2006 Epsom and Ewell's fell to eighth, losing marks due to a 'lack of entertainment facilities'. However, October 2007 saw Epsom and Ewell climb into third.
