YES, as with most Cities/towns there are areas where gangs congregate. They have by no means taken over the streets and TBH you don't need to go into those areas unless you have friends that live in the area. There's definitely NOT a lot of problems.

I can honestly say my town is not a place where mindless yobs rule or spoil any part of the town. It's no garden of Eden but we have a beautiful coastline and the riverside regeneration is transforming the area into something very pleasant.

Yes a lot of people are moving into the area.

Exactly. There are areas of my town I wouldn't walk at night, but they are the minority, not the majority. lasto you need to stop reading the daily mail!
