Life in estate nicknamed ‘The Zoo’ due to high crime rates has improved according to some of the residents – but many still brand it a “s***hole”.
Halton Moor took on the dramatic nickname after a series of crime sprees saw riot police flee, bus routes cancelled and youths causing chaos.
A police van was torched by yobs in the middle of the street in 2019. Riot police vans then had to retreat as pandemonium took hold with bricks and missiles being lobbed at their vehicles.
