My Grandad was born in 1904 lived in the Delves. Immaculate home and gardens…. The whole street was like that. I went to his home in 2021 for a Drive out….. I was astonished…. We live in an uncivilised society TODAY ..LIKE ANIMALS!

how about a new rebuild ?

[@marybarratt2649]

I’ve watched Walsall go downhill for years. Beautiful old and historical places replaced with awful modern things. Removing The Railway station foyer was a crime.

If walsall is a shit hole move to another town oh sorry I forgot you need to apply for a council flat and apply benefits in ur new settlement which actually means u have to get off ur benefit sucking ass.

@@tanveerkhan9221 seasons greetings to you and yours Tanveer, I hope you are well. Do you live in Walsall? I have lived in Walsall for 60 years. I own my own house and am in full time employment. I grew up in Palfrey and went to the local school there. I live just outside of Walsall now but I believe I have spent enough time there to justify my comment. Sadly its not just Walsall but many towns in the Midlands that have deteriorated over the years. Oh well that`s life. Nice chatting with you Tanveer. Hope you have a fantastic 2022. All the very best. Mike.
