'It used to be beautiful': The Curry Mile restauranteurs who say it's 'gone so downhill'
The Curry Mile is a unique institution of which Manchester has been proud for decades - and you'll do well to find a resident who hasn't had a memorable time here.
Abdullah Albaydar's family has been running restaurant Al Jazeera for more than 30 years. He told the Manchester Evening News that the Curry Mile's "gone downhill" - amid robberies, rubbish, drugs and aggressive begging. Abdullah says more visible policing is needed. "There’s a lot of gangs and crime here now, it’s not for families anymore," he said. "We need more police.
Muhammad added: "Crime seems to be spilling over from Rusholme and Moss Side to the Curry Mile now, which it never used to. "Police and council don’t seem to care. But I can guarantee that if I didn’t pay my rates they’d be here as quickly as they could." Muhammad added: "It used to be a really beautiful place, really amazing with a great atmosphere, but it’s gone so downhill over the last few years."
"Since the Covid-19 pandemic there have been a range of issues which the hospitality and entertainment sector have faced, compounded by the ongoing cost-of-living crisis. "We’d encourage residents who are experiencing issues around fly-tipping to contact the Council as soon as possible, as a great deal of enforcement work we do is due to resident intelligence.
"Police and Communities Together is an initiative where officers meet at central locations within the community and agree to focus on three key priorities raised by residents themselves each month, with a view to providing regular updates to them at future meetings.
