I have spent plenty of time in St Pauls for lots of social and work reasons and regularly pass through, it is not quite how you portray it in this video. Firstly you have focussed the footage of graffitti and litter which of course is a problem but it gives the impression that it is absolutely everywhere in the area, it isn't. You didn't show hardly any shots of the grand houses that line City Road and the beautiful, listed portland square and brunswick squares with their respective portland church and civic building, the kids play park in St Agnes, St Agnes Church and various parks in the area. You didn't show the colourful rows of houses which people peacefully live in, where generations have lived and enjoyed. St Pauls has its problems but many of the crime stats are caused by people coming from outside into the area linking up with a minority of people. Compared to other areas in this city such as Hartcliffe, Knowle West and Southmead, St Pauls ( and Easton) are have far more cultural and community groups, businesses, events, festivals and general good community vibes. The other places are a hell of a lot more narrow in their offering and suffer from feral gangs of youths, something not found to the same extent in St Pauls. St Pauls also unlike those areas, has a much bigger proportion of students and working professionals and upwardly mobile workers, it is far more diverse and rich in life than the aforementioned other areas, hence the growing gentrification and redevelopment. St Pauls carnival is the longest running Carribeean and African carnival in the Uk at i think 53 years old now, I have been tomany and the last two were absolutely fantastic, attended as always by children, families and all generations, it is unique, incredibly fun and colourful - the floats on the procession contain around 14 primary school floats, it is a family affair and these days closes around 10pm, 60 - 100,000 people having a good time with relatively very little crime. Check out the reviews and videos from local newspapers for pictures and videos Bristol247 and Bristollive.

I was in St Paul's last night as there was 5 different sound systems playing Dub, Drum and Bass, and even a bit of the bouncy Hardtek that the kids seem so fond of. There were hundreds of people at every stage, some of which were in peoples garden, and it was going off! Loads of youngsters, and loads of encouraging words coming from the MC's, who, as far as I can tell, were only preaching love. I got told it was the St Paul's carnival, which hasn't been allowed since that flue went round ages ago. I think it was still a bit subdued compared to it's usual state of glory and celebration, but may well be an important pulse lest the state of gloom gets its way and snuffs all the fun out. I've been round St Paul's here and there for the last 6 or 7 years, and yeah, it's a bit sketchy and a bit grimy, but there's a community there. And a lot of youngsters got some wisdom to draw on from their elders, if they choose to. I can only speak for myself, but so far I've never had a bother there. At any time of day (even 5 am when everyone is clearly still in bed and which may well be the best time to do graffiti on a dumped mattress).

I love Bristol. I've lived there for years right next to St Pauls but after visiting vristol last year, I was very disappointed. So much rubbish everywhere around, homeless people pissing openly on the street, businesses closed down.... It was very sad view.

Southmead is one of the most quiet cancil estates in bristol St Paul's is one of the worst in the country for drug dealing and probably knife crime and it doesn't matter if loads of students live there that won't make the criminals and gang members leave

I am from Bristol ! And St Paul’s was certainly not the worst or roughest area ! It had its own culture after the government moved the people from Jamaica in in 1950 x before that it was a residential area full of doctors & solictors ! I had friends in St Paul’s in the 1980 s and had many a good time with them x Now I was protected maybe because I knew them ,but , I drove through Knowle West with my car doors locked !! Look at other areas and their history of Bristol x

St Pauls was certainly not a nice area back in the 80's. It was definitely a ghetto of poverty and criminality. Unfortunately many of the issues associated with it back then, have spread to other parts of Bristol's suburbs, as has occurred within other British cities. The contrast between areas like St Pauls, Mosside, Toxteth, Chapeltown, Broadwater Farm and other areas is not as great as it was in the 80's, but not for the better Gang related crime is now common throughout all Britain's major cities

Bristol council groups the data in wards, and St Paul’s is grouped with a few others. If I mentioned it I’d get so many people pointing that out 😀

I used to go to St Pauls/ Montpellier alot when I was younger (mid-2000's) as my mates dad moved there. It was pretty wild (probably still is). You would walk along City Road in the daylight and people would openly offer to sell you Crack. I can remember at one point, the Yardie problem got that bad, the police were patrolling the streets with 9mm sub-machine guns. I even remember driving home one night past an incident where police were running around looking shocked and startled. The next day I found out that it was because a Yardie was shooting at the police.
