People who live and work in the Page Hall suburb have been utterly overwhelmed in the past three years by the 900 or so Roma families who have settled there. This week David Blunkett (inset), who grew up in Sheffield, said Roma groups were acting like they lived in a 'downtrodden village' without basic sanitation, and that the suburb could 'explode' into ugly street warfare, in scenes like the centre image. Locals have accused the newcomers of anti-social beahviour, thievery, and even trying to sell their own babies.
