[edit] Discussion
- Add any additional comments
- Both are suburbs which are not well known outside their own cities/counties. Also found out that there is a town in the US that has gone to the unusual step of naming itself after them. josh 11:16, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
^^^Chapeltown in Leeds is well known throughout England.
Note that per the naming conventions, if a disambig is needed, this page should be moved to Chapeltown, West Yorkshire. Vclaw 13:57, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
This article has been renamed as the result of a move request. Or otherwise sorted out. Everyone appears happy enough with Chapeltown as a dab page. –Hajor 03:24, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Social problems
"Chapeltown suffers serious social problems, including a high rise in gun crime in recent years, and has long been considered one of the city's worst districts."
I personally don't consider it the worst district in the city. I also don't have any increased personal safety issues in the area - no more than I would have for any other area of any major city. Does this comment conitnue to be relevant when it seems related to riots which occured 25+ years ago.

- There have been more since by the way. 2001 I Think (around the same time as Manningham) User:Mtaylor848 —Preceding comment was added at 22:24 20 April 2008
As someone who lives in the area, christ believe me the area has problems. You'd have to have a death wish to leave your house after dark, if you did you'd probably be burgled. It is the only area of Leeds really to have gun crime on the scale that's seen in the worst areas of Nottingham, Manchester and London. The gun crime is so out of hand, its even forced away the local vice industry because its too dangerous for call girls to walk the streets. They could probably have another riot and convince us it was a regeneration scheme. Despite what the council and a hand full of 'optimistic' residents say, Harehills and Chapeltown are still very much no go areas. A flat share with hanibal lector would be better digs then anything you could get in Chapeltown. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.8.27.125 (talk) 17:24, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
