The bright pink polo shirt of Jane Plot marks her as a volunteer at the Big Venture Center.

The community shop provides concessional items and other assistance to people living in some of the most deprived areas of Wolverhampton.

Places like Bushbury, Heath Town and Low Hill, where Ms. Plot believes “everyone is struggling”, including themselves.

The local council says that it is for those who need support, but some living in some areas say that they have forgotten.

Ms. Plot, who lives near Scotlands Estate, said, “My child will not play on the streets.”

45 -year -old, have been working voluntarily at the Center for years and said that it helped him achieve skills and take care of his own mental health.

But she claimed that this is also one of the places where she felt safe in the area.

“When you can’t see people [are out]”Ms. Plot said.

“I try and look in the opposite way because you don’t know what they are going to say.”

The resident of Trishi Walters, supported by the Big Venture Center, was born in the field.

The 61 -year -old said that she preferred to live there, but felt that it had “forgotten” about it.

He demanded more activities for young children on property, and was also concerned about nonsense.

“I don’t think the Wolverhampton Council cares about the region,” he said.

The council said that during school holidays, there was more than £ 121,000 in funding for children in Scotland, adding it to regular litter pics and sweeps.

The local authority also emphasized 112 jobs which included roads and street lighting.

But another center user, who asked not to be named, said it looks “screwy”.

The woman, who lives in this field throughout his life, said that drugs and other forms of anti -social behavior were a major problem, often because young people had nothing to do.

“It was a good area at a time, but there is nothing left,” he claimed.

“These are just empty houses that rise up. You find a needle on the floor [and] Nobody cares. ”

Despite the issues, volunteer director David Chadwick stressed that Scotland was a place where “everyone would help everyone”.

“A lot of families will suffer without us and that’s why we are here,” he said.

The City of Wolverhampton Council said it was working with the police and other organizations to ensure that the area was safe and no one “left behind”.

“The council has awarded millions of pounds in regeneration grants in the region and created a Big Venture Center by community asset transfer,” said a spokesman.

“We hold regular community residents where people can talk directly to the council.”
