Residents have spoken about what it is like to live on a notorious street where they fear to leave their homes at night, and prostitutes stand in the alleys charging £1 a time. A pensioner who lives on Slade Road in Stockland Green said he is continually propositioned by cut-price prostitutes asking: "Can you spare a pound... wanna do anything?"
Other residents have spoken about dealers, drug dens, burglaries and violence on the street. Some residents said they are so frightened that when they return home they rush to lock themselves inside as intimidating groups hang around drinking on street corners, reports BirminghamLive.
One resident, aged in his 80s, who asked not to be named, said: "I've been propositioned three of four times by prostitutes. These are young girls - maybe early 20s, possibly Eastern European. I only wanted to go to the shops and get some bits and bobs and I have to keep declining their offers.
