Ultra-high-tech CCTV has totally transformed Leeds’ once infamous ‘Toxic Towers’ to a “friendly, neighbourly” apartment block, claim residents.
Parkway Towers in Seacroft, which hulks 16 floors high over the east Leeds suburb, once had a reputation for antisocial behaviour and drug dealing. But residents living there say it’s changed and has a lovely atmosphere, thanks to the watchful eye of the camera lens.
Mahmoud Sefe, 46, has been living in the tower with his partner for 10 years. They currently own a cross-poodle, who likes to yap but whose bark is bigger than its bite.
