It's getting rough in that area.
Its always been rough round here. I've lived off poulton road for 17 years, and had a kills in my road when i was younger. Moved house now.
Its more rough were them pictures are taken, more towards seacombe, i'd never walk alone round there late at night.
I disagree thats its always been rough round here. I live off Poulton Road close by to where this incident and the Hillcroft Road incident recently reported occurred. Born and raised in Seacombe and Wallasey for (just) over 40 years so I've seen lots of change in social behaviour - including my own.
I was never afraid to walk through central park in the dead of night after dancing my socks off and a couple of 50p glasses of stella in Christys. Now I would think twice before going down the road to the shop - stone cold sober - for a pint of milk after it gets dark.
I would hazard a guess that in the last twenty years or so my generation (unfortunately) seem to have bred an entire army of workshy drug/alcohol addled antisocial w*nkers who are in turn breeding their own litters of same. The law is a joke when dealing with these kind of people and so they flourish.
Having said that there are still plenty of the old-school variety of conscientious and law abiding parents too that almost manage to avoid them - for now. Perhaps one day some balance will be restored but frankly I think it could go either way.
Sorry about the rant and yeah its late - two nights lost sleep in the last 48 hours because of the damn police helicopter - and this kind of thing encourages me onto my soapbox
