Walking around Birmingham | #36 Handsworth - Villa Road to Lozells Road (Lozells) | England UK 2021 

I agree with you on that one. The place is a dump.

HAHAHAH BCC was crap then too?...

Lol hahaha

sorry to be so off topic but does anybody know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my login password. I would love any assistance you can give me

@Archie Brock Instablaster :)

The Last Train From Snow Hill...

Lmao

Long gone my freind a great shame

Ghouraba Stranger Yes, worst luck.

On the plus side if this video survives the test of time people will be viewing this 50-100 years from now when we're all long gone.

Talos 2kX Very true, except who knows.It may be a ghost town .

I'm sure we're all gonna say that one day, all the best

Its there shite let them lie in it if there to f..king lazy to clean it dirty ba...ds nothing to do with local councils

If the people put the rubbish in the proper place and not dump it on the Streets there wouldn't be the need to clear it up it's not the councils fault That this is becoming a land fill site

What has the mosques got todo with what about churches gudwaras????

@@andrewjohnston7386 I agree leave it there for them to clean up. Let them get rats if they want to live like it.

Same goes for the council estates in white neighborhoods. Where everyone's on benefits.

LoL

You have clearly never been to one then

It looks like England . And it is England . Let’s not pretend is was some wealthy posh area that the people forced to live their ran down.

@@gol.drodger5261I agree & by the clouds looks like depressing day lol!!!

@@stevieb9490 Hi Brian! Hope you're well ar kid! Don't be bitter lad. I know it probably doesn't look like much but life's about community (the people around you). Just out of interest... where are you and how's your community? Apple doesn't fall too far from the tree I suppose....

Thats savage doesnt make everyone who lives here wrong horrible pple ...

@Tabula Rasa what kind of fuck? You mean like damage and destroy or do you mean the old "in out in out"? Either answer makes the mind boggle, I have crazy images in my mind right now. Birmingham always seems an OK plac when I have visited, lozels back in the 90s was a bit hectic but I've always found brummies good decent people, they always think I'm some kind of gentleman, or posh guy from my accent as I'm from the south west (Devon)

@@westcountryoddities8107 what’s Devon like to live? Out of curiosity

@@recall2880 alright pal, yeh it's pretty relaxed down here, you have the 16 year old acting like they are from a drill video but they are not really dangerous, the older generation can come across very hillbilly and diversity is not in their vocabulary but there is alot of good people here too, there's a good club scene around the Plymouth area (South Devon) , jobs seem to be pretty plentiful up here in my area (North Devon) I'm more of a del boy myself, I hustle my way through life whilst avoiding the 9-5 stress and I do OK, get by like that and so do alot of others. Where I live is coastal, I look out my window and can see the beach and the sea but I take it for granted, my mate in cannock thinks I'm crazy for not being down the beach everyday, I've lived back here in westward Ho! For over a year and not been once! I like fishing but carp fishing, all fishing is good here tho if that's your thing. Lots of decent food places but again not very diverse, I can't get West Indian food here, no African foods at all, plenty of fish and chips, they are decent, the Chinese, Thai,Turkish Indian and Pakistani food places are no match for Birmingham, everytime I eat in Brum I think that it's much better. Overall, the thing I would say is life is slow, nothing is rushed, I dunno if that's the fresh air or the high grade of our weed but life is deffo on the go slow!! Hope that helps answer your question!

@@westcountryoddities8107 I loved Devon, would like to go back there sometime

Could try waasim zaffar, lozells area councillor. Labour member of the council for more than 10 yrs. Henrina Quinnen is another serial labour política, since 2009 actually. Given the state the area she was in charge of is, why is she still there? IT is not good for democracy but Labour are unfit for government these days. They are so out of touch with the needs and demands of ordinary people, like living in a clean, neat, tidy neighbourhood.

I thought you filmed a brilliant video and yes there are parts that could be cleaned up in a day , the council don’t really care though , why not have the community service people do it ?

The problem is that Birmingham City Council does not care. They will send you warnings if you don't pay council tax and threat you with legal actions if you don't pay. Most of people then get scared and will pay it nevertheless. As long as not a whole area with ten thousands of people refuses to pay it, nothing will change. The council can just provide rubbish service and does not need to fear consequences. This is how it is unfortunately. And people nowadays do not have the courage anymore to stand up for what is good and to go against what is bad. Especially in UK, US and France you can see that clearly. People do not care anymore... So it becomes socially acceptable. The state of this area is a mixture of a lot of different problems. Neglect from council, lack of investment, government cuts, the people living there, too much uncontrolled immigration, careless society in general, lack of integration, poverty and much more... The result you can see in the video.

Is there some kind of a petition we can do? Like, that's injustice right there. I wonder why the council is neglecting this area.

But they're not clean at heart

​@@ShadowMoon96 Shut up you IDIOT

What could the council do to help?

Get all the people to have some pride in their area and come together and clean it up themselves .

people pay council tax ?Last year (2018/19) Birmingham City Council issued around 444,000 bills to resident households totalling more than £382m in council tax - with a collection rate of 94.4 per cent, which meant more than £21m was unpaid. The national average collection rate is 97 per cent.

Good idea might be ,if the people who live in the area didn't throw their rubbish on the streets in the first place

Always people hanging around the streets on corners in hoodies looking menacing up to no good ,no wonder all the white people left

Totally agree, it's not little Britain anymore

You said it for me👍

Well said

Must be the guy giving the friendly wave when he sees a camera.

I live on a run down housing estate dont get the bit outdated less they demolish it and rebuild it. Council spent a lot of money planting trees new turf walkways cladding must have cost millions 6 months later shit hole again not the people a.

@Laura JaneAshley You are the only one racist here, I wonder why? Your comment has no basis, it's like someone saying imagine raising a child in a white neighbourhood with all the pedos, rapists and serial killers.

@Laura JaneAshley yes cuz white people in Middlesbrough and Liverpool arent living in squalor. Mrs benefits street....Foodbanks and children running around in underpants in bordered up houses in Stoke.....Hey guys look im a rashist who blames immigrants when we ourselves have our own poor and homeless. Blame the non whites...

@@blademanx that's stoke-on-foil for you shouldn't be surprised

@Laura JaneAshley you been ran through!!

@I am the Best how do you act a colour? Nonse

Tell me ur joking bro🤣🤣

😂😂😂. If he is joking, good one. If not then you need to get 2 specsavers to get yer eyes tested lad

🤣🤣

It's not I live there

@@anisdesai4692 b

Looks like you got out in time

Yea but we also can't say brums not short of small businesses. From the outside looking in I see the neglect now

Same

An analysis of police street level crime data shows that there were 298 crimes reported on or around Lozells Road between September 2017 and August 2018. Diversity is our strength

Nobody asked ur broke ass nothing

@@phezzfromthelane30 Sorry to inform you but you but you don't need anyone's permission to leave a comment in a comment section. And ps unlike you, I'm not broke!

@@phezzfromthelane30 lol

They would have to pay me .

Where do you live now?

Me too Clive,used to live in bordesley green.....what a shithole brum is now eh

@@sametoyoutoo8509 i now live in asia so no one can accuse me of being racist.

@@clivehoseason1462 I will guess more hong Kong asia than iraq....am I right?

@@asmrfoodieuk7965 good guess but completely wrong.

Palis ate scum of earth

Did you get to visit those flats? If you ever get flats offers in that area, please do a “house tour” . I am really curious to see how these houses look inside. You might find some gems, you never know. Lol

Hi no never visited any of the places and luckily I no longer need to move.

@@citiesthroughmyeyes i was skeptical once as I've heard not so favourable things about Lozells, but the council home I moved into with my family is lovely. Never had an atrocious experience in the 4 years I've lived here compared to other parts of Birmingham.

Now you know why

@@citiesthroughmyeyes tbf the houses are and flats are quite massive the problem with this area specifically villas road there are TONS of supported living and care homes for drug users n mentally I’ll around and they kind of get to do what they want... so results

Filming that road was a lot of fun 😀

Lol. It was very unpleasant and difficult to film the litter, the fly tipping, etc. But I am not going to photoshop reality. I show it as it is... Btw, thanks for watching!

Hiya. I know not a very nice opening to Ur video lol but best show how it it's hopefully we can look back and say wat a shit hole lol

Hope we be around in the next 30 years to look back at it. Great vids 👍

Hopefully, the area will look better in 30 years otherwise I'll be back there again for another video Lol. Btw, I rewatched the beginning of this video and I couldn't stop laughing 😆 I can't believe I did this! Ha ha

@@citiesthroughmyeyes Hiya lol I know the opening of Ur video was brilliant lol loved it lets u know wat kind of area we dealing with lol

Thank you 🙂

Agry

Not every part of England is like this, have a look at Moseley, kingsheath, Warstock, Billseley and Hollywood in the South of Birmingham and Solihull clean streets these are the posh parts of Birmingham Sutton Coldfield too.

Wajid Hussain Yes but most of Birmingham is now a rubbish tip, I remember it in the 1950's, these area's were clean and respectable.

@Laura JaneAshley shut your racist mouth , u properly live in Spain n refuse to learn Spanish

Parts around greater Manchester is like this.

@@wajidhussain1161 Why are these areas clean because they are simply predominant whiter areas and have a image to portray we all know Birmingham city council have race biased about areas.

Loool! My most "popular" & controversial video 😀

It's high diversity until the population, environment fully changes to 3rd world. Let's celebrate it! :)

Coming to a town near you soon.

@Ibangyourmum what about Led Zeplin & Balck Sabbath?

@Ibangyourmum Shit, that only leaves Duran Duran

Reduced to what? You're only basing your invalid opinion on one problematic road.

Thank you for watching the video, I really appreciate 🙂

The food 🙄 is that all you can say

@@jamesjameson4566 What's wrong with that? There are some shitholes in Manchester that I only go to for the food...

@@samdobie6748 aren't you the edgy one 🙄, am I supposed to be impressed?

@@jamesjameson4566 Don't see why you're whinging that he just mentioned food being the only good thing about a run down area

I was born there and lived on mayfield road in 1965. Moved to West Bromwich in 1978. When things started getting bad. Still nice memories though me and my brother playing around lozzels growing up. Good days indeed. Sadly long gone now. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏼

Thank you for support, I appreciate it 🙂

😂😂

Thank you Bev Green 🙂

Bud you need google maps ,its Lozzells !

Lozells is between hands worth and Aston ?

@@bevgreen4800 Bev not heard of Google maps or are just taking the piss ?

@@akumar7366 You’re right. It is Lozells must’ve been a mistake

Absolutely dump! Corner shops, junkies, gangs, filth, dilapidated buildings with box houses

It was once sadly, not anymore.

Englands not all like this !! ... there are some beautiful places and countryside.. I'm sure every country has it's not so nice areas along with its nice areas .. dont tar the whole of England with the same brush because of 1 or a few bad areas 🙂

Not diverse areas in Birmingham are very racist and segregated depending where you live.

It's not nice

Yet no one does anything about these lawless mobs. Why should decent law abiding people allow these criminals to control the streets?

I would love in Ireland over Englistan any day

Top of the morning to ‘ya! (FFS, it had to be done)

People didn't seem that bothered about my camera on their faces. Some seemed completely cool about it.

@Kahsin What would happen? People ask you what you were doing there?

@Kahsin lies

@Kahsin Lozells Road was a very different place in the 80s, before the riots.

@Kahsin did anyone (gang) approach u during that time also the burger boys are black gangs init

Pmsl 🤣 😂😂😂

@@chanelgez2146 a fortnight wouldn't be enough.

@@kevinoreilly205 Is 1 star a thing in these dumps? Self catering all the way, probably preferable to sleep in an armoured vehicle.

You can thank immigration for that

@@baz9653 looks like the council has let this area down its because of immigration there's still shops.

Hello, for this video I used an IPhone 11 Pro & an Osmo DJI Mobile 3 gimbal. Thanks for watching.

I agree with what you said and that’s what make the whole situation so unfair. Making these types of videos you quickly see the contrast between areas. Some places are pampered, polished. Others don’t even have pedestrian traffic lights. The Council gladly take our taxes and laughs all the way to the bank. I know Bham City Council is watching my videos. Anytime I film a dirty area and throw it onto RU-vid, it gets cleaned up within a week (Moseley Rd, Bradford St)...so I just need to show more areas in Birmingham.

@@citiesthroughmyeyes what about Ashton make a video on that

@@citiesthroughmyeyes actually make a video on Smethwick

​@@citiesthroughmyeyeswhy don't the people there clean it up yes the council could help more by taking some rubbish but even if council cleans it up it will end up same next day it's people make an area a shithouse it's not the council's fault although council could have street cleaners but they have no money for anything now so things will just get worse

100%

Only serten parts of society

@@martinmcmullen5161 Certain

Do you still live in Handsworth or do you now live somewhere else?

@@citiesthroughmyeyes yes I still in in Handsworth. I still walk and cycle in Handsworth park. I used to drink from the fountain in the 70s that is situated at the bottom of the hill in the park. I feel safe in Handsworth.

I like Handsworth Park. You reminded me that I need to record the park.. One month from now I will have more time in my hands to film parks, make docs, etc.

@@citiesthroughmyeyes Handsworth Park has so much history. Now there is an annual 10k in September but not since Covid-19. People walk regularly there but they never did in the 70s. They moved the swings which used to be by the Bandstead and, the Park Rangers office used to be just behind the old location of the swings too. Looking forward to your video.

Lozzels is not handsworth

I did a walk along Witton Rd, Aston ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NtIaE-mjJ7E.html I also did a tour of Aston Hall ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qEVcwbNPMlY.html

@@citiesthroughmyeyes cheers thank you just saw it there now

Birmingham for you lots of poverty ,crime and chavs . Birmingham city council are very racist and bias and it reflects all over the city with the segregation.

@@jadasmith1977 Seems about right. Not mocking the poor as I was brought up with nothing - just educated yourself and do something with your life is all I’m saying

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I hope they don't end up demolishing the Villa Inn..

@K Maan Thanks for the reply 👍

Newtown can be on top if you don't know people

@K Maan not at all. I would rather walk Soho Rd top to bottom at night than walk around Yardley in the daytime

Newtown

Thank you for watching 🙂

@@citiesthroughmyeyes For sure 🔥🔥🔥

In sha allah

Ye

classic handsworth

Always vile shit around villa park

Yrs ago that was lovely road, I used to go lozells girls school now look at it, the people living there are to blame for all that rubbish, wouldn't want to be walking round there now

Up the villa

I hope that lady sees this video

I agree

I will do a walking tour in Solihull and other places soon 😉

It is the UK: Handsworth in Birmingham, England.

Looks more like Afghanistan

Just looks the same as every were else just shit every were

Lmao your sarcasm kills me mate 👌🤣🤣🤣

It starts off in Handsworth, until he got to The Villa Cross

That bro is a woman
