Benchill
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Benchill is a district of the city of Manchester, part of the massive Wythenshawe council estate, about eight miles south of the city centre. In 2000 it was named the most deprived ward in England, however, since the release "index of local deprivation" several schemes have been set up to assist the residents of Benchill.
The area also gained national media attention in 2007 when Conservative politician David Cameron visited the estate, only to be targeted by a group of youths, one of whom made a gun gesture with his hand towards him that was caught on film [1].
