Rich Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) That area used to be very respectable, my late Nan (Dad's Mum) lived on there Donkey's years before she died and as far as I know never had a whiff of trouble, the trouble started when the Council moved all the nutters off the Wybourn and Wynn Gardens into the area.

I am from the Wybourn, and plenty of my family still live on there...and I wouldn't say any of us are nutters...far from it....but that said, I suppose thats the beauty of being a council tenant...you can move to a better area if you want :huh: Oh and by the way, we have a very good family friend who lives on Fairbarn Drive.

spotty dog Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 It's not bad...loads of gangs hang around on the shops and in the park at night though....lots of police sirens are alleys heading over there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plantpot Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 We live on fairbarn drive, it's not bad. like nosy nellie says its been quiet round here lately. It's the high rise flats on stannington road where the trouble normally is. Well it must not be too bad here my mum left the car keys in the boot of the car all night and they were still in the same place the following morning!

Mmmmm....judgemental as ever Rich.....not all people from Winn Gardens are nutters. Suggest you take the plank out of your own eye before pointing out the splinter on someone else's.

Quite right Plantpot,All the trouble seems to be centered around the shops and multi story flats which used to be a lovely place for the more mature members of society, but the council in their wisdom as usual have turned these flats into a ghetto where the elderly now don't want to live and cannot get out fast enough. The trouble is most of the elderly members of our society are now too old and infirm to go to the trouble of moving to another home and so they now have got to end their days surrounded by drunks, drug takers and all the other social misfits. And the council don't give a damn. It is about time the social workers and the doogooders concentrated on careing for the elderly instead of the no hopers who do not appreciate what is being done for them.
