Indeed.
I didn't want to get drawn in to a debate defending the poorer parts of Lodge Lane which are, as Waterways pointed out, the Smithdown Road end.
I thought it illustrated my point a little though, how such a prime location road/area can evoke such emotions amongst those who do not live here.



There are places in Liverpool I consider personal 'no go' areas that no doubt someone on here will be happy to champion as areas just starved government attention. I'd be surprised if I found out they were in such close proximity to the town centre and the city's largest park however...
