Left TS1(one of the roads off Parli road) a couple of years ago and some of the stuff I witnessed before leaving was incredible. Looked out the window one day because I heard some shouting outside, a lad went zipping past with a golf club in his hand, quickly followed by someone chasing him with a machete. Windows getting put through regularly, neighbours car tyres got slashed and not just on the sly either, they stood there and slashed them as my neighbour was watching, they didn't care at all.
When I was younger I'd walk home from town at night in that area and even then people said I was mad but I never ever felt at risk, I wouldn't dream of doing that now. The last couple of years there I wouldn't even wear my headphones when I was walking about because it felt like you needed to be aware of what was going on at all times. I think there was an article in the Gazette not long ago that said it had the 9th highest crime rate in the UK, absolutely mental.
My parents got out of there last year too thankfully, they're the last people out of all my family, mates and even parents of mates to leave the area.
