    I used to walk through Harris Avenue to skool as a Junior, and then when when i was in Rumney College (if it was wet, if dry took the easy option and walked across the park. it was mad then but roaming dogs were the main problem, and is probably why I have never had and am not keen with dogs.

    Cardiff , compared to london , bristol , birmingham , Nottingham, manchester , leeds and liverpool has never seen much drug related gun crime

    But it does seem to be creeping in

    And to hear gunshots whilst you are minding your own business in your front room , washing your car , walking down the street must be terrifying

    Re: Shooting in Cardiff Today

    some decent people in harris avenue but looks like drug and gun culture is part of the norm nowadays

    we never had any problems around here but the last 12 months has seen a turn for the worse

    Have you driven down virgil street to allerton street grangetown by the old city pub ?

    I have a friend living there and there is open coke and heroin dealing in the middle of the day

    Clifton street is going the same way

    We live on Greenway Road, very close to where the incident took place. We heard what we thought was a minor explosion this afternoon and only found out about 7pm that it was gunfire. There are some wrong uns in this area and it's getting worse.

    Gun culture certainly isn't part of the 'norm' in the UK.

    Re: Shooting in Cardiff Today

    on the whole NOT tuerto I should have been more specific

    the norm i was referring too meant most inner citys like London , Birmingham , Manchester,Liverpool .Leeds and Glasgow

    The facts are staggering if you choose to look

    Grangetown's mean and nasty status expired a good 10 years ago. Yuppies and the middle classes have successfully seen to that. Nothing more than a myth now, as far as inner city neighbourhoods go.

    Riverside is slowly becoming gentrified.

    In fairness it's a bloody great location so no real surprise it is getting gentrified. Should the Dumballs Road/Brains Brewery site developments go ahead, the value in the riverside and grangetown properties will go through the roof.

    Probably no worse than Rumney nowadays.

    Re: Shooting in Cardiff Today

    Harris Avenue isn’t particularly rough.
    The gentleman was targeted because of who he was. It wasn’t some random drive by.

    We’re still blessed here that we haven’t got the problems other cities have.
