A council leader has warned his own town’s streets are “lawless and dangerous” after a number of recent violent incidents.
The warning comes after a number of crimes rocked Walsall, in the West Midlands, including the murder of Bailey Atkinson, 20, at the weekend by outside an Asda superstore.
A number of stabbings and shootings have also been reported in the last 12 months, raising fears for people’s safety.
