Impoverishment of the Wold

A lot of nuisance because owner-occupied and social rented homes are mixed in the neighbourhood. High unemployment, low-skilled people, subletting, noise pollution, loud music, shouting, firework nuisance, and drug nuisance from young people driving around in expensive cars at the strangest times, and dealing youngsters on fatbikes. In addition, all roads and pavements in the neighbourhood are rotten or sunken, and many houses look neglected or completely rotten on the outside.

Impoverishment and increase in crime

Increase in unsafety; expensive cars are speeding and revving at the strangest times, causing noise pollution for the living environment. These are mainly young boys with a cultural background who think the whole neighbourhood belongs to them and that they can make quick money this way. Additionally, the roads, paving, and lighting are very poor. And I see an increase in my area of a group of young people who are at risk of sliding into criminality. They drive back and forth in the neighbourhoods on fatbikes that they could not possibly have obtained honestly. Also, a lot of waste and litter in the neighbourhood.
