'There's always someone off their head': The suburb where people don't feel safe in broad daylight
People living in a South Manchester suburb say they no longer feel safe walking in the area because of 'intimidating' people drinking in the streets. Residents' groups in Fallowfield say the problem has got worse since the pandemic, when some hotels were turned into homeless accommodation.
One elderly man in his eighties who lives nearby had street drinkers sitting on his wall, throwing cans into his garden and urinating in it, she told councillors. And local litter pickers feel 'vulnerable' because they find 'all sorts of horrible things' in the streets, including knives, broken glass and condoms, she added.
Kattie Kincaid, another local resident, said she no longer feels safe walking to the post office because of the street drinkers nearby. She told the licensing panel that she now tends to drive to Didsbury because she cannot walk locally. Labour councillor Chris Wills told the licensing sub-committee of his concerns about the impact that granting the licence would have on the community. The council's principal licensing officer Fraser Swift also said that the premises' licence application should be refused, citing the 'state of concerns in the area'.
