R eporter Danielle Hoe went to see what life was like on Yorkshire's cheapest street which 'stinks of weed' and has a 'no go zone' with residents desperate to leave.
Within minutes of arriving on Yorkshire's cheapest street one resident told me not to walk past a certain point for my own safety, she explains in the YorkshireLive.
Schofield Street in Mexborough is no stranger to police activity and was labelled as "s***" by one local I spoke to on his views.

New data found that this street in Doncaster was the cheapest in the whole of Yorkshire when it came to property sales between April and June this year.
In fact, a terraced house sold for just £29,000 along the street in April.
Walking along the street it is lined on either side with terraced properties with a small grassy area and park breaking up the street on one side.
And one thing that is very clear from a quick glance is that it is in desperate need of some TLC.
From a chair dumped on the side on the path to rot in the open, smashed windows being boarded up as I walked past to rubbish being left strewn on the road.
The street is also just around the corner from Wath Road where 20-year-old Lewis Williams was shot dead in January this year.
Several people have been charged and have appeared in court for his murder.
But despite the shocking crimes that have happened nearby some living on the street say that they have no problems at all and actually enjoying being there.
However, one thing that became abundantly clear from chatting to residents was as long as you keep "your head down" you manage to avoid a lot of the trouble.
43-year-old David Reynard moved to Schofield Street two and a half years ago and he is desperate to leave.
His opening words to me where that living there was "s***".
He said: "I have been assaulted twice and have had three attempted break ins.
"You can't speak to the police as if anyone sees you then you get called a grass.
"I have always wanted to leave but I can't get any support or help to leave until I have been here for three years.
"There's always a smell of weed, especially when the weather is warm and the attics start to get hot, you can just always smell it.
"I have an issue with drug dealers meeting up near my back garden but I let my dog out and she soon scares them off.
"Up the top of the street there was a big issue with gangs a few years ago.
"Basically there's a point where you don't go past as that is where all of the trouble usually is. It's a bit quieter down this end.
"We even had a shooting around the corner last year where a boy was killed and the police came asking for footage off my camera.
"I moved here from Holmewood in Bradford where there were six shootings in just a few weeks, so this isn't actually as bad.
"But it's just s*** and I can't wait to get out."
Another resident who I spoke to, who wished to remain anonymous, moved to Schofield Street six years ago.
He said that he actually enjoys living down the street and has never had any trouble.
He said: "I used to be a door supervisor so nothing fazes me really.
"I have never had any issues living here. I moved here after having issues with my past house. But I quite like it."
Sarah Summers, 39, says she is keen to move her family away from the area.
She said: "It just isn't safe anymore. I definitely don't feel very safe walking around here on my own.
"I just don't want that for my children so I am trying to do what I can to find us somewhere else to live.
"There's just always trouble or arguments being started between people.
"You constantly see windows that are smashed and rubbish or furniture just left out on the street.
"I am not at all surprised that it is the cheapest - it's not a nice place to be."
Another resident, 50-year-old Mark Walters, agreed that it was a "s*** street" but said that he actually likes the community feel.
He said: "Yes I agree it is s*** and not exactly a nice place to live.
"But saying that it's the sense of community that I like. I know a lot of the people in the area and you get to know the faces and wave to them and have a chat.
"It's not all bad. However, it can be overshadowed by the stuff that goes on around here. It's a rough place to be to put it bluntly."
