Anyone live near or on King Street Wallasey ??
Looking at moving to the end that joins onto Seabank Road......any opinions ??

Lots of police action with drug raids (lots above the day care centre) and assaults I lived up the road for 3 years, was wary of going out at night, saw daylight drug deals more than once, got hassle off youths (I'm only in my late 20's myself) and wouldn't have my blinds open as i didn't want to get broken into for my tv ect, had the lead off my kitchen roof nicked! so wouldn't suggest it hun x

* I moved out of there a month ago so it's pretty up to date

Any opinions ......Dont..,;-))

we lived in Rudgrave square for too many years...
they should of renamed it Drugrave square.
same advice as above...Dont!

hiya it depends really is it a house or flat. if its a flat by the shops then its not very nice alot of smack heads live near but i live on the end of seabank road king st way and tbh ive never had any trouble and everyones very nice. we all help each other out if needed and have a firework party every year xx so upto hun xx

It's a flat at the end of King Street, built on the old cinema site.

If you want to live like Charlton Heston in the Omega Man go right ahead,otherwise run and keep on running!

I woukdnt advise it its pretty rough around that area. I live in seacombe and I feel safer here than I would here and that's saying something!

Thanks everyone.....think I'll give it a miss then....shame as it was a nice flat.

ooh the kids cause those flats no end of bother

You will get it were ever you go there's not a place on Wirral crime free. Drug dealing is everywhere now and will not change no matter what the law do. Its something we all have to put up with. At the end of the day you live in the house not the street. Your home is what you make of it..

LMFAO

Cracking topic, top marks.

Anyone else care to throw a dig in?

On a serious mnote you are probably best not moving in there anyway.

The noise levels will be horrendous in that building, the traffics not good as king st is a main road.

As beehive states theres good and bad everywhere you go, even warren drive has its share of idiots.

good luck

first hand experience of this, i live on said 'drive' (it's more of a 'road imo) and my neighbours *house number withheld* are complete and utter nutjobs! but tbh the rest of the road are nice people.

but my advice re: king street, avoid it.

Thanks to everyone who offered advice....much appreciated.
Looking elsewhere now x

I grew up in church street and then have lived in a number of places since then (new brighton,birkenhead,moreton).
I now live on trafalgar road(murder capital of wirral a bobby once told me)and i do agree that some of the ... bags they have moved into the area have made a little more lively than it was, but i would never want to live anywhere else as the local people are down to earth and would do anything for you.
They hate the bagheads just as much as you and don't tollerate them.Never been broken into,never felt threatened.
The flats you are on about look really nice and you have door security there so i wouldnt think twice about moving to this area.
At least if there is a problem you would have a number of your neighbours out to help you sort any scumbag out, unlike a posher area of this town who would cringe behind their curtains.
New tesco's just been built on the door step, good newsagents and a co-op,post office all within a hundred yards.

Fair enough.

What leeboy fails to mention is that the co-op charge treble prices compared to asda and the newsagent is ran by people who don't smile.

Jane who runs the Newsagent on Trafalgar Rd is lovely if that's the one you are talking about...all the staff are nice too. Yes the Co-op is more expensive but as Leeboy says, Tesco are opening too..will be interesting to see how they both fair but saying that a short bus or car journey either way takes you to Morrisons.. I used to live in Stringhey Rd and never had a problem. The Nellie was my local and have had many a good night in there...not so sure what its like now though ( the Nelson that is).

Right ....moving buddies !!!
What about Kimberley Road (off WithensLane)...... any opinions on that area ??

Quite a nice area, parking is restricted (not much space) and the traffic can be quite busy at times due to the school on withens lane.
I used to live round the corner from there on rake lane, never had any problems, i also know a couple of people in that area and they have never had problems.

I would live there if it was not for the limited parking and im fussy lol

Thanks Ste...it's gone now
Will keep looking

Came to this a bit late, but looked at a flat (buy to let) in the building opposite where the cinema used to be (junk shop on corner, post office, chippy in front, flats at the back of that block). Decided against it after chatting to a local resident who said the immediate area is full of smackheads and assorted lowlife bussed in from the North End.

Some years ago the police caught the residents of those flats trying to tunnel into the vault of the post office.

Totally agree with leeroy. Such a shame its now gone. I was going to suggest meeting me so i could show you the good and the bad xx

You wouldn't of wanted it anyway sneeze, there a few drug dealers in that road.

Will keep on looking.......fed up seeing the same old places now though, wish some new let's would pop up

what's your budget???


www.gmproperties.co.uk have a few nice places.

Looking for at least a 3 bed for approx £500 - £525pm......bit of a long shot I know because anything that size in that price range is either grotty or in a sh*te area!!....just hoping to strike lucky, you never know

Sneezy, get your arse over those bridges,for that
money you'll get a decent gaff,Claughton,Oxton,Prenton

Can't do that Fireblade......needed to leave a 29 year marriage and get away, so came back to my childhood home NB .....love it so much, need/want to stay as near as possible.
