It reads like it was between various Slovakians; almost pleased to hear it wasn't racist.

Well we told them all this would happen you have to blame the D.D.C. FOR THIS ONE.

From what I have been told it was about two extended Roma families that have a vendetta going back yonks.
Sadly these meatheads must have frightened the life out of the many elderly people that live in sheltered accommodation along there.
When lines were drawn about people gathering in large groups the obvious place, Folkestone Road was ignored for some reason.

Not as ridiculous as it sounds Brian, I remember Keef saying that when the fashion was for Albanians to claim asylum here they were housed in close proximity despite the fact there were blood feuds between the various groups.
The same applied in Folkestone a few years back when they housed young Afghan males in one area resulting in the neighbourhood becoming no go, eventually resulting in a fatal stabbing. The fact that seven interpreters were brought in after the arrests speaks volumes about the decision to house them together.

What's not to like about living in Folkestone Road?

I live on the Folkestone Road and apart from the occasional spats of really bad litter/waste/rubbish etc. not much really.
I don't like seeing rubbish, I also don't like seeing all the weeds growing through the cracks in the pavement or in the kerbs.
I guess because I live further up, I'm not in the middle of it so maybe don't hear or see the bad bits; I do walk up and down the road - I did this morning, but didn't really see anything untoward; the litter was O.K., the bins had all the lids down and no mess on the floors, so DDC have been able to get through to some of the miscreants.
The trouble is that new people move in and we're back to square one, that's why I believe it should be the landlords' responsibility for making sure the tenants know what is expected, whether it's an HMO, a flat or house that's rented.

I live there too Roger, at the other end.
I only venture into the badlands in the middle when I want to vote, as the polling station is in that steep road whose name I forget.

Belgrave Road, those 4 strides I take to the polling station are enough for me, worn out afterwards.

Yes I realise that Andrew.
It's Belgrave Road Andrew - at the Clarendon and Westbury Community Hall.

Indeed, I recall seeing you there on occasion, Roger.
