Brum is ranked one of the most neighbourly cities in the UK
Who knew Brummies were so friendly?
Research, conducted by the Co-op has revealed that Birmingham is the 5th most neighbourly city in the UK.
This has been measured by how comfortable people are to ask their neighbours for a favour.
Sheffield is the most communal capital where three quarters of the respondents would be happy to call on up to five people to request a favour such as accepting a package, borrowing a household item or just having a good old chat.

This is a stark contrast to the rest of the UK where one in six of those under 35 claim that they cannot depend upon their neighbours.
The top ten neighbourly cities are:
- Sheffield
- Norwich
- Nottingham
- Edinburgh
- Birmingham
- Manchester
- Bristol
- London
- Leeds
- Newcastle
