Seediness

I am not alone in feeling that Croydon is falling apart.

I received an email the other day from someone with similar feelings. Here is an extract:

"..The whole area needs a thorough clean and 'make-over' it is just creating an air of seediness and hopelessness that attracts the likes of the perpetrators of the football hooligan riots.."

I wonder how it is that there are those in the borough who still hanker after "city status".
