Is Walsall still considered a 'No-Go' area?

Just seen some old videos and articles about Walsall, Birmingham that black people or others that aren't Asian aren't allowed to enter or something? Is it still the same, if it is I'll consider going there (do not why but I like danger).

strange person.

Like most places with stories like that the danger is there but exaggerated a lot.

Feel free to go there and the chances are whatever race you are unless you act like a **** you'll be fine.

It's not particularly a racist hell hole (or that's not the most obvious problem I'd point to), but it's not somewhere I'd want to go on holiday.

I've lived just outside of Walsall all my life, it has never been a no go area for anyone. There are lots of black and asian people living there, what are you on about? :confused:

What are you trying to say about those places? I've not been to Sparkhill (other than passing through recently) but the others are safe.

I'm a white Welsh girl (was born in Walsall but lived in Wales for as long as I can remember, and am Welsh by family) and I'm allowed to go to Walsall. I don't think it's a no-go area somehow :tongue:

On an aside, I hate saying I was born in Walsall. People always say "You don't sound Polish". I resorted at one point to saying I was from the Black Country, then they'd always say "But you're not black". :facepalm2:

That they're dumps I'm guessing but tbh there are plenty of worse places out there.

Lol where were the people from? I've found certain parts of the UK you get the Black Country response of "but you're not black" or "that's racist, what's it really called" from almost every local but in other places I've never had either response. Norfolk is by far the worst I've been to for this. I've even had arguments about not needing a passport to visit Birmingham :tongue:

and that I'm not a foreigner (I still haven't convinced most of them on that one lol)

Is Walsall still considered a 'No-Go' area?
