Save us all from South Elmsall ‘Beirut’

Due to requests to remain nameless, I am unable to send a “Look Like Beirut” certificate to these sorry bunch:

Intimidated residents have had their South Elmsall street turned into ‘Beirut’ by anti-social youths using drink and drugs.

About 20 residents from Princess Avenue attended an emergency meeting last Tuesday to discuss their concerns with police and councillors.
[...]
“This used to be a beautiful estate. It seems to be going downhill. Since the meeting there have been more police around so it has quietened down a bit.”

Another said: “People throw things at windows. It’s like living in Beirut sometimes.

And sometimes its like living in New York City. It all depends on which way the wind is blowing.
