Hi kellsbells.
Unfortunately, Belfield road is in the 'worst areas in Accrington' as quoted to us not one week ago by an experienced estate agent. My mum lives near by, and i lived there for years, i also work in the area.
There are some lovely people who live there. In fact some of my best friends live there! But... for the size of the area it has an extremely high number of drug dealers who are very open about what they do.
Practically, Belfield road is a typical terraced road with a number of shops nearby, including chip shop/chinese, take-away x2, sandwich shop, corner shops x3 and a news agents.
It did used to include, a launderette, a butchers, a greengrocer and a hairdresser.
Belfield road is also not too far from the town centre.
The area has been granted funding to regenerate the area but its not known when that will begin.
There are alot of empty properties in the area and there has been rumours that the council will possibly knock these down. They have forced the owners to sell. The area is said to improve, but when?
The area has an eclectic mix of races and a number of travellers living there.
The residents association are very pro-active and are very helpful.
