That's true, but for balance Cleveland has some of the most deprived wards in the country, amongst the highest crime rates in the country, including real issues with violence and appalling levels of child poverty.Every programme like this always makes the town/City where it's based look really bad. 99% of the time you are dealing with the worst people in the worst areas so never going to paint a lovely picture.
Same with The Force Manchester - if I'd have watched that I'd have never moved down here. But there are lots of good places and good people everywhere.
I thought...with the background...it looked like it was up next to Albert Park....may be wrong thoughthat area with the hostel in looked absolutely brutal.
and the area where they arrested the lad near eston could have been about 6 different estates in boro

Yeah, it is where you cut through from Park Rd North to Linthorpe Rd, walked past it a few times.That's where I thought it was too, just off Park Road North.
Looked like Spencerbeck to me that, just those type of houses, either that or Bankfields.that area with the hostel in looked absolutely brutal.

Highest levels of violent crime per capita in the UK.Every programme like this always makes the town/City where it's based look really bad. 99% of the time you are dealing with the worst people in the worst areas so never going to paint a lovely picture.

Not unique, but about as bad as it gets by all the metrics that are applied to measure deprivation, poverty (inc child poverty), homelessness, violence (inc that caused by organised crime), drug use, unemployment - I could go on, the list is a long sorry one.It's the same everywhere sadly. For every Didsbury in MCR there is a Collyhurst or Moss Side.....or a local estate that's pretty much no go. And the crime in these areas are probably worse than Teesside.
Repeat in all major towns/cities up and down the country. Teesside definitely isn't unique, great areas of the country have been purposely and selectively left to rot.
