Res.6.8 Married couple, ages unknown, corporation tenants, male interviewer, 5 February 1962

INTVEEs would like to move, the district is too slummy and rough. Male INTVEE was involved with a youth club but has given up because of the behaviour of the children. They think residents are quick to complain to the corporation but won’t do anything themselves to improve the district, they don't seem to care about sweeping and cleaning. They miss having shops. Female INTVEE is quoted as saying "There are far too many children - some of the women round here breed like animals". INTVER thinks she also says the police call the area "the maternity ward". They have two children and will soon have to let the children have the bedroom and they will sleep in the sitting room. They have made improvements to the house and can't understand the attitude that you shouldn't make improvements because the houses belong to the corporation. They are in favour of the recent rent increase as this was the best way for the corporation to get the money they needed. They wouldn't sign the community association's petition against the increase.
