Shocking photos show life on one of 'Britain's most neglected streets' - which is plagued by criminals, giant potholes, fly-tipped rubbish and burnt-out cars.

Residents living near Crawford Street, in Saltley, Birmingham, say the road is more like a 'Compton ghetto' or a 'scene from The Last of Us'.

The notorious street is riddled with 'crater-like' potholes - leaving most it covered in mud - hundreds of items of rubbish and the charred remains of burned vehicles.

Locals say the road has been allowed to fall into a state of disrepair by Birmingham City Council to the point it now resembles a 'Third World slum'.

Community activists have branded the road as the worst in Birmingham but neighbours believe it could be 'Britain's most neglected street'.
