It's the same area the Peaky Blinders were founded. Small Heath has undergone many changes over the years. I'm here today to speak to the residents and find out what they think the best and the worst things are about living in this particular part of Birmingham.

00:00 I don't live in Small Heath, yeah we own a business in Small Heath, but Small Heath
00:05 is, it's a very close-knit community, it's a very mixed community, what's
00:10 developed from originally an Irish community to then being a predominantly
00:13 Pakistani Muslim community, we've got Smalians now, it's a very mixed
00:18 interracial community, very encompassing for everyone, everyone's welcome and you
00:24 get a lot of variety here, food, culture, clothes, whole thing, it's all happening
00:32 here in Small Heath, very welcoming. What I did realise after living in Manchester
00:37 is that there's a very strong sense of community amongst people, obviously with
00:42 any type of community, with any you know local community, there's a lot of
00:47 problems, particularly this time of the year, but I think you know a lot of
00:52 improvements have been made, I also feel like there's so much potential,
00:57 unfortunately you know it's down to the people, it's also down to the you know
01:01 the local council as well to do something about it and we need to see
01:06 you know money being put into certain areas. The best thing is like you got all
01:11 the community in here, like whatever you're looking for you can get it here,
01:15 and you got like, like whatever you need you can find it easily and people is
01:21 friendly and the worst thing especially on Coventry Road I would say for the
01:26 parking, people not parking it like you know they're disturbing people so that
01:31 shouldn't be happen. No it's very worse place now in the moment, it's too much
01:37 traffic and too much rubbish everywhere, it's not systemised, look some shop inside
01:44 some shop is outside, it looks very weird you know, that's not very nice, like
01:51 Sully Hall is very nice, Shardley is nice, Alvere is nice, but there is there is very
01:57 worse place.
