As the dude said above, living near the main road you'll be fine probably. I live just off Woodborough Road at the moment. The hill is a biatch though.
Most of your replies have been from scared little white kids who have barely stepped off daddy's estate before. St Anne's is not dangerous - in fact nowhere in this entire country is as dangerous as people are trying to make out - and when I went there (at midnight - to the Pakistani Community Centre) it was pretty much empty. It is important to be careful when picking your gang affiliation though.
yeah man, ****ing white kids, i was down st annes last week around 2ish - it was pretty empty too, expect there were 2 whities trying to get a taxi home, thankfully they were mugged before they got one.
