In the north Liverpool suburb of Norris Green lies a crescent shaped run of shops that feels like something of a throwback to a bygone era.
Broadway still has an independent butcher, a local jeweller and a carpet shop sandwiched between its bookmakers, pound shops and takeaways. While many living in the area are proud to have retained a local high street when so many others have withered - the area has turned hellish in recent months for some of those trying make their livings here.
At the end of last month, it was announced that Merseyside Police had introduced a dispersal order covering Broadway and the surrounding streets. The order gave officers extra powers to seize items, disperse crowds and arrest those who returned to the area.
