The village, surrounded by three prisons, is known for its collapsing houses, boarded-up pub, and increasing crime rates. Residents fear going out after dark and witness alcoholics and drug-users collapsing in the streets. The deteriorating state of the village is evident with strewn rubbish, smashed windows, and a derelict house cut in half. The situation is worsened by a recently burned bus shelter and numerous potholes on the roads.
