Jenrick is right in slum claim
As much as I hate it I have to agree with Robert Jenrick.
I was born in 1947 and Handsworth was my area. A beautiful calm clean area and certainly not a slum.
Lovely small independent shops and many national store such as Burtons, M&S, Debenhams, Littlewoods. It had tidy pavements and no litter. Now take a look
Drive down Holyhead Road and make your own judgement and try to remember what it used to be like and then give an honest harmless opinion as Jenrick did and I’m sure you will find him right.
