  • Every four hours?! What crime's are these - litter dropping, dirty looks, walking a dog without a lead? I've lived on the estate for three years and although it's not exactly a charming place - it does have it's fair share of more serious crime, just not that often - I wouldn't say it's a particularly dangerous area. In fact, I love it there! I'll be sorry to move out cos you can bet that the new 'development' will cater for better off Londoners who want to be close to work and the west end, shoving the poorer residents for whom the estate was built further out, cramming them into already overstretched and run down areas.
  • About time they decided to get rid of this horrible estate.
  • steve makes a very good point
  • He does indeed. Its called gentrification, I hate it
  • Lived there for over 4 years and never had an incident. Couldn't agree more with steve. Not heaven, but not as its described, definitely not!
