STREET OF SHAME Inside UK’s most dangerous street where spice dealers run riot, takeaways have bouncers & a crime is reported every DAY

IN a takeaway, revellers strip naked while outside party-goers inhale banned canisters of laughing gas and drunk men brawl in the road.

Welcome to Britain’s most dangerous street, where terrified residents claim dealers openly sell zombie drug spice and cocaine in plain sight - and even the local chippies have bouncers.

By day Duncan Street in Leeds is an ordinary thoroughfare, just a quarter of a mile long, with a smattering of shops, a handful of fast food restaurants and an estate agent.

But come nightfall it’s a “hellhole” where fights are commonplace, drugs are “the norm” and club-goers lie barely conscious on the pavement.

Horror stories abound of women having their drinks spiked on nights out, with one resident who lives a five-minute walk away telling us she will get a cab home at night just to avoid the dangerous strip.

New figures reveal that last year 378 violent crimes or sex offences were reported on or near the street, which has three clubs within throwing distance.

That’s equivalent to one crime every 23 hours - worse than in East London.

Landlord Kevin Baimbridge has had his pub windows put in several times at The Duncan - and claims dealers openly sell spice and cocaine on the street.

“Nobody seems to care about drugs and dealers sell spice and white powder openly on the street. Balloon canisters and smashed bottles are littered about everywhere and we’ve had our windows smashed.

In January 2023, shocking images showed TV presenter Helen Skelton recoiling in horror after a bottle was thrown at her during a 3am street brawl just around the corner from Duncan Street.
