In Radford, people have spoken out about their concerns regarding a “dodgy alleyway” - which people have said they would avoid day and night when by themselves. The jitty, on Middleton Street, has been subjected to fly-tipping in the past and several gas canisters were also recently dumped there.
Leon Peters, 59, is an artist who lives in Radford and he would like to see the jitty gone. He said: “It would be better if it was knocked down, it would be safer if it wasn't such a dogleg alley. In the day, you hear youths mucking about and I’ve seen some of them before, they look young and I think ‘why aren’t you at school?’
“I’m not scared to go in the alleyway, I usually do but I can understand why others - especially a lone female - wouldn’t. I wouldn’t want my daughter to walk down there at night either.”
