They say it is full of “beautiful salt of the earth” people, eager to help one another.
Outraged Leeds residents have hit back after their neighbourhood was branded “scary” and plagued with drug wars and knife crime.
Léon Awane, who runs Léon’s Café in Town Street, was thunderous in his support for Armley, feeling his neighbourhood had been disproportionately maligned. 'You get crime everywhere' Londoner Philip Cave, 58, is another who was welcomed to community with open arms and a hearty embrace. He’s become heavily involved in the upkeep of the community since moving to Armley five years ago. The web designer currently sits as Chair of Trustees of the Armley Common Right Trust.
“I don’t think there is a youth problem in Armley. I don’t think there is a problem with guns, drugs or knives, or whatever. I think there are problems everywhere and they’re happening here too.” She “loves” the sense of community, and the fact the high street in Armley has retained a host of traditional shops, like a bank, post office, baker, butchers and a library – which also offers a helping hand to the community, she’s keen to add.
