A Leeds neighbourhood has become overrun with drug addicts and alcoholics, according to the “angry” residents who’ve hit out at Leeds City Council.
West Yorkshire Police attended Birch Court, in Morley, after a woman was stabbed on Saturday, February 11. Residents have said this points to a wider issue with drugs in the area, which they say has been caused by the council housing 'drug addicts' and 'alcoholics' in the area.
Residents say drug deals happen frequently in broad daylight, and they find used needles and beer bottles chucked into their gardens and fear for the safety of their children who have to witness all of this. Leeds City Council denies there are any active council schemes to house drug users in the area and says prospective tenants are risk assessed.
