Not shocked; not shocked at all. I'd be surprised if more areas of Sheffield aren't on the list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 People will read that and instantly think its the residents who are anti-social, when i reality it could just be a target area for burglars or a congregation location for chavs who don't even live there.

I think you're right. It's right by Asda, an off-licence, several take-aways and the local bookies. Sounds like a perfect place for the local pond-life to congregate.

Sounds like a perfect place for the local pond-life to congregate. Parson Cross is one of the poorest areas in Europe.) That doesn't make the majority of people living there 'pond-life.' It means they need more help and investment than most. Poverty is not pretty, and comes with costs for the rest of society, another reason why real help is a necessity. What they get is the occasional sticking plaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
