Middlesbrough on a night time

Don't feel relaxed walking from the ground to Teesside University/Southfield Road area on a night time after a match

Drug addicts aplenty to avoid the 'Excuse me' ' Have you got a light?' 'Do you want to buy...' 'Could you lend me....' etc

I had to dodge a couple of young lads who were abusive…on drugs I suspect and it’s very disconcerting when you have your son with you. That’s modern life unfortunately.

Well, it’s what you get voting Tory because they squeeze the poorest and have slashed and wiped out most youth programmes during austerity and now we see the impacts
I absolutely hate the Tories (is it that obvious ?)
Fcuking ruining our country but mostly the thick electorate keep falling for the lies
 
I had A few incidents down Boro in my teens so in the early 2000s. And these where in broad daylight out in the shopping centres. So not a new issue, I don't know whether it has got worse now though, but was it never great.

Eh ? I would never shop around town like I used too. It has a menacing atmosphere
 
We came out of Cineworld around 10:30 pm a few weeks back and two lads on a motor bike were riding in out of the traffic. To me, they looked like they were looking for someone they could drag a handbag off or anything left in a car.

There were loads of people about but no police or security presence.
 
To me the begging has increased and the atmosphere is less pleasant. Not sure about thefts and assualts. Car crime was worse about 30 years ago, but security has improved on cars which has reduced that. I notice stores like M&S shut their Linthorpe Road doors well before 5.30pm which they never used to. There seems to be far fewer people about after 5pm.

In central Middlesbrough more young men seemed to have dropped out, more drug use probably has something to do with it and less genereous and helpful welfare system. That isn't helping them as much as it did.

Employment opportunities have probably improved a bit from the grim times of the 1980s, but are still more limited that most other parts of the UK and for one reason or another holding down employment is more difficult for them.
 
If people referring to delicate souls are referring to me I am calling them out as being a nuisance. Not sure where sat on a bench comes into it. Being scared is not really my point- they are a nuisance to people going about their business
