What are the odds?! It's a shame people aren't more open minded to the area, it's such a great location. I took the skyline pic from the roof garden. ha! What are the odds?!

I was born there 60 years ago and spent my formative years living in that area now glorying (?) in the title Inner City. (So far I haven't become a serial killer, and not even a mugger... that must be rather disappointing news to some people from outside the area :-) I loved it there, the people were the very salt of the earth, and I know some who still live in Summerhill and the surrounding areas, and they're all fine decent people. I think you'll love it there. In fact my blog is about growing up in that area in the 1950s and 60s. Congratulations on a great site! Well said about Summerhill.

Its gas really that down the country there is such a perceived notion that the northside is more dangerous than the southside. Utter rubbish in my opinion.

Takes months of paper work and determination. But one piece of advice I'd give to anyone trying to do the affordable housing scheme is get in touch with a local councilor, they're usually full of great advice on how to work the scheme.
