Drug abuse is rife on a suburban Leeds street with heroin and crack addicts knocking on doors begging for money and lighting up their crack pipes in broad daylight, according to an embattled couple.
It’s torture for recovering drug addicts Simon and Sarah Scott who kicked their heroin habit during the pandemic. The married couple from Seacroft have spoken of the horrors of having to see it happen outside their window regularly throughout the day and coming face-to-face with an addict who won’t stop nagging them for drug money.
Simon and Sarah, who are 47 and 36, respectively, live in a council flat in Kentmere Crescent with their French Bulldog Nelly. They depend on benefits and foodbanks to survive. They credit their road to recovery on the isolation of the pandemic and having to provide a safe home to their pooch.
