There are regular community litter picks, the Beeston in Bloom group, Friends of Cross Flatts Park, loads of community stuff going on (much of it organised by the local Green Party councillor and activists)... I'm involved with a lot of it. Yes the place is scruffy, there's nowhere near enough greenery, we're surrounded by busy roads and parts of it were badly modernised in the 70s. There isn't a lot of money around either in terms of public / Council facilities or in the hands of local people. What there is is a thriving third sector, lots of charities and voluntary groups filling the holes left by the retreat of Govt. Most people (although struggling) are decent and friendly; unfortunately it's the ones who aren't who attract all the attention and drag the reputation of the place down.

      ​​​​@@DoncasterACTIONnewsabsolutely. Worst thing about Dewsbury Road is the boy racers roaring up and down (which happens everywhere now) and homeless people begging outside Tesco. Winstons (the 'massage' place) isn't a great thing to have in the community but I've never heard of any trouble there - I suspect because the last thing a place of that nature wants is to draw attention to itself. For every pot smoking, gobby scally with a knockoff Armani tracksuit and an XL bully, there are 10 decent, hardworking ordinary people who just want to get on with life, yet we all get stereotyped as scum by the 'nuke it from orbit' type comments, it gets very old tbh.😅

    I was based out of Beeston on a contract for the NHS working in and out of health clinics and doctor's surgeries about seven years back , even though I am from the Northeast and know some rough areas I could not believe the houses had barred gates over the doors and the health clinics had razor wire along with steel shutters on the windows and doors. It was an eye opener for me. We were told never to carry IT kit a long distance but park close to or in the location carpark. I will never forget the day me and another contractor went looking for a chip ship and found a guy half naked lying in his garden smoking a joint ...ha ha happy days

    Lincoln Green, Harehills, Halton Moor, Gipton, Seacroft, East End Park, Armley, off top of my head are all rougher than Beeston nowadays I'd say. But honestly Leeds isn't rough in general anymore. Not since the 2010s.

      A lot of cities in the UK have rough areas but I’m old enough to remember the 1970s and 80s when it was a hell of a lot worse. Also in those days there were no cameras or cctv so it was far easier for thugs to get away with assaults…….stabbings were also far more common in the distant past and many of them went unreported.

      Beeston (where I've lived, just off Tempest Rd, for 20 years) is like Beverley Hills compared to some of the places on that list. Halton Moor has always been known as 'The Zoo', even the police won't go up there since the friendly locals rioted and set their vehicles alight! Horrible place ruled by absolute scum.

Not many pubs in Beeston to begin with and even fewer nowadays. (New Inn, Palace, Junction, Malvern all closed in the last 10 years, mainly due to them becoming too 'roigh' for most.) Recently lost the social clubs on Dewsbury Rd and Beeston Hill too although Rowland Rd is still going strong.

    That brings back some memories. About 25 years ago I worked at GE Capital in Morley which was a dark and dingy shithole - but at least it was right by the M62 for a quick getaway back home to Notts and it looked very smart compared to Harehills where the other office was, at the old Burton the Tailors site. Harehills really WAS a dark and dingy shithole. One lunchtime we went in a pub in Harehills to get a pint and a sandwich. The only food on offer was a bag of crisps and the landlord suggested that we leave for our own safety. I think that the only habitable places in Leeds are well north of the city out near the ring road.

    Lots of takeaways - how do folks afford them? Three other things of these areas: 1 -The amount of houses with grilles over the front doors. 2 -The amount of RUBBISH. 3 - Some good people!

    • @rich_edwards79
      @rich_edwards79 Před měsícem +2

      Local takeaways are pretty cheap, we can feed ourselves and 4 kids from one on Beeston Hill for around £25. Not every night obviously, but as a weekly treat it's much better value than McDonalds etc.
      The security grilles are largely a holdover from the days of wooden doors, sash windows and much higher burglarly rates. These days most people have composite doors and criminals are more likely to break into your car than your house (household goods like TVs and consoles aren't worth much and are harder to sell on) so grilles are slowly going away. Far fewer than there used to be!
      As for the litter, I agree. I think some of it blows out of litter bins / wheelie bins and certainly the high winds this winter haven't helped, but far too many peopke still drop their can or wrapper when they finish the contents, or launch a bag of rubbish out of their car window. A few of us have organised a campaign and regular litter picks in an attempt to deal with the problem, but it's going to take time.
