TV Times billing -
“My little boy’s very bronchial - it must be the damp. All these houses are very damp and there’s nothing you can do about it“
This month, Robert Kee reports on what it is like to bring up a family in St. Ann’s, a small, decaying ward scheduled for demolition, in the otherwise prosperous city of Nottingham.
Here, 30,000 people live in appalling conditions reminiscent of the depressed ’thirties - bathrooms are a rarity and the lavatory is across the yard. Houses built in the latter part of the 19th century are damp and cramped and every penny has to be watched.
This documentary was filmed in one small area - the problems it reveals are widespread and could apply to almost any city in the country. Report poses the question - just how effective is the Welfare state?
