INSIDE The NOTORIOUS GANG RUN ESTATE - St Paul’s BRISTOL known as STAB CENTRAL.

[@mattmanson6734]

Half of this is Easton, not St Paul’s. This is poverty porn not real journalism. it’s an extremely lazy Portrayal of an area you clearly know nothing about other than out dated new reports.

Stapleton rd is on Easton not St Paul’s and St Paul’s isn’t “an estate”. Estates in Bristol are on the south knowle, Hartcliffe etc. St Paul’s is now gentrified and property there costs a pretty penny. Go south of the river if you want to see real poverty

[@drahcirnevarc9152]

02:50 is Grosvenor Road, a five minute walk from my front door in Montpelier. Although Montpelier is pretty safe, there are frequent stabbings in Grosvenor Road. 200 yards further up the road in the park featured in 7:50, there is open cannabis dealing which is the source of most of the violence. The block of flats at 4:10 is where my mate Louis lives. Louis recently served a prison sentence, from which he emerged much chastened, after his dog seriously injured a visitor. 06:19 is the area I think of as Little Mogadishu, since it hosts a lot of Somali families who moved here fleeing the Somalian civil war which began in 1989. I walk through here multiple times weekly on my way between home and the City Centre, and have never felt unsafe.

​@@darrenb7765I used to live in Withywood , South Bristol. It was never as rough as St Pauls in the 90's and is probably nicer than say, Fishponds is today. The sad facts are that most Bristol suburbs are overcrowded dumps with visible poverty and sky high rents , also the internet has killed the local high streets unless you want fast food or a Turkish barber.
