Many locals are afraid to venture into Derby’s downtown area because gangs use an Oliver Twist-style network of impoverished youth traffickers who are coerced into becoming drug pushers. Up to 40% of children live in poverty in one area of the Midlands city. In the city, wraps of crack cocaine and heroin are sold for as little as £10 or £20, one ex-junkie told The Sun. Residents expressed outrage at the drug trade in the city center, which Which? magazine recently named the worst in the UK, and fear of fights and muggings.
Shopper Hannah Hamlett, 49, said: “My 16-year-old daughter is too scared to come into the city centre. “It can be a bit dicey. You see quite a few people on drugs – they are like zombies shuffling around. It can be quite scary. My daughter is afraid she’ll be caught up in a fight or will see one. “There’s muggings and stabbings all the time.” The full-time carer added: “Mind you, it’s not worse than many cities. Parts of the centre are pretty run down, but it’s not all bad.”
