I used to live around there,it was always a bit like that .. But it has gone really bad a few yrs ago down East Ave my partner and I saw a fella pacing up and down we then saw this ‘ thing’ open his garage got something out of it it was drugs, in front of everyone,my partner said something to him … Couldn’t cared less …and yes they come from Liverpool and other cities as they haven’t the room ..
Also that poor dog I am a dog walker for a Charity I could ask them what can be done but if the dog is taken from them they may turn violent, ☹☹
