Cayton, Eastwood was a nice housing estate back in the 70's when I lived there, both Haldane Road now a no go area and Coleridge Road from one end to the other, again now not a nice area.

Over 35 years ago I went to connect a gas cooker up for the son of a friend, recently married and just moving into their first house in Eastwood. Whilst there the carpet fitter arrived to fit new carpets and brought the first one in, placed it in the room it was going in and went back to his van to get another one, only thing was there wasn't another one ,lifted in the short time he left his van open ! On the other hand the police arrived almost immediately after being called , knew exactly which wall to look over and retrieved carpets within half an hour after them being nicked !! So on one hand nothing changes but on the other the action of the police force has changed beyond recognition
