I agree, there is little investment from government and there should be
But, but, I live in an area which used to have a huge huge eastern European population until most of them left and went home after the B disaster.
'locals', quite racist - would slag these people off, they bring the area down, things were great until foreigners came along.
Yet, the area was a shit hole for decades before it became highly populated with migrants and what did those migrants do when they arrived? Opened shops and businesses, worked, earned money.
So how do they manage it but the 'locals' who left it to shit for decades and decades dont manage it.
There was no extra money from the council/government, no investment whatsoever. The place still has a 'reputation' but is now being gentrified in a different way.
But yet I have to listen to their concerns?
