'Children shouldn't have to witness blood on the street': The estate rocked by violence twice in a matter of days
An estate in Middleton was rocked by two violent incidents in just a matter of days, leaving residents living there 'frightened' and 'disturbed'.
Three people were reportedly hospitalised after a suspected stabbing on May 3, with another man understood to be injured after a separate incident broke out at a nearby block of flats at The Heath a mere three days later.Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, ward Councillor Dylan Williams has spoken of how the community has been left shaken by the violence, with some fearful of even walking the streets or bringing up their children in the area.
"I was on the estate the day after and there were still bloody footprints all over the pavements. Children should not have to witness things like this happening or be left scared and see blood splattered on the street, it is wrong. Last year, the Manchester Evening News reported how concerned residents said criminals were 'more visible than the police' and how some were too frightened to leave their homes due to a pandemic of antisocial behaviour plaguing the area. At the time, Greater Manchester Police pledged to act.
