Life in Leeds' 'least trusting' area where stabbings and shootings are 'the norm'

Residents in Leeds’ ‘least trusting’ area have opened up about the horrors they see in their neighbourhood on a regular basis.

Locals spoke to LeedsLive about tragically seeing their own friends murdered in broad daylight. One resident recounted the horrific moment they saw a man running and collapsing in the street with a bullet in his back in Lincoln Green in Burmantofts.

They’ve said crime is a regular occurrence in the small Leeds neighbourhood near St James’s Hospital. This comes after the area polled as Leeds’ ‘least trusting area’, in a national survey conducted by Onward Good Neighbours.
