TALK GIPTON

Block quote I FOR ONE WHO WAS BROUGHT UP IN GIPTON WOULDN'T CLASS IT AS A NO GO AREA THE AREA IS FINE AND THE TROUBLE THAT WE DO HAVE IS FROM YOUNG HOODIES AS THEY LIKE TO BE CALLED BUT EVEN THAT TO MY KNOWLEDGE IS CONSIDERABLY LESS THEN ANY OTHER COUNCIL ESTATE. IF YOU ASK ME THE WORST PLACE NOW IS HAREHILLS LANE YOU CANT MOVE FOR PEOPLE HANGING AROUND THE MINI BANKS ON THE LANE AND THE BOOKIES IT IS VERY INTIMIDATING AND IF YOU CARED TO TAKE A PROPER LOOK THEY ARE LESS HOODIES AND MORE TOWARDS THE LATER STAGES OF TEENAGE LIFE THAT ARE HANGING AROUND.

• The article now states that Gipton isn't a no-go area, however, Harehills isn't all that bad-a-place, and it certainlty isn't the worst in Leeds. Areas like Halton Moor, East End Park and Chapeltown are worse areas, and Gipton is considered far worse than Harehills. (unsigned comment)

• I think that talking about "the worst place in Leeds" isn't much good, as it's likely to change every month. The current article seems better than the old one in many respects. Epa101 19:07, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
