Leeds residents have opened up about life in the city’s ‘poorest area’ where children walk around in “ripped clothes” and the streets are “dirty”.
Harehills locals have said these problems are present since it’s home to a diverse community, full of unrepresented minorities. Harehills and Gipton has a majority 38.2 per cent Asian population, with 34.5 per cent White and 17.4 per cent Black.
They’ve also spoken of how so many struggling families are either on benefits or both parents work and are living in back-to-back houses, so kids as young as four are roaming the streets or large groups are playing football in the road.
