I couldn’t get away from all this quicker enough. Now living in the Shropshire Hills. Lucky me.

I grew up on the Meriden - 1980's - 90's . This looks crap and cramped . Is it social housing ?

[@englishcountrylife3805]

Yes it is.

[@bellachance1206]

So did I. Approx 1992 to 1994, then 1996 to 2007. I loved living there back then. Wouldn't be able to stand it now.

Police are investigating after someone wearing a ghost facemask attempted to break into a home in Watford.
Hertfordshire Constabulary says the incident occurred around 4.20am on Tuesday, March 9, at a property in Widgeon Way.
The force says a white male wearing a ghost facemask attempted to open the front door.
He then walked away and was quickly followed by another male who appeared to have been crouching down behind a wall in the front garden.
Both made off in the direction of the Meriden shops.
Officers are now appealing for information and witnesses following the attempted burglary.
Detective Sergeant Helen Dickson, from the Watford Local Crime Unit, said: “I am appealing for any witnesses or anyone with information to get in touch. It was early in the morning but perhaps someone travelling to or from work might have seen something. Were you in the area? Did you see or hear anything suspicious? One of the males was wearing a distinctive facemask which may have caught your attention.
“Any information you have, no matter how small it might seem, could be vital for our investigation. If you were driving in the area and have a dash cam fitted to your vehicle, please check it and contact us if you spot something that might help us.
“You can get in touch by calling the non-emergency number 101 or email me at [e-mail] quoting crime reference 41/17246/21.”
