Kings Heath is in crisis as businesses face relentless vandalism and theft, with teens smashing windows, stealing snacks, and even assaulting staff—so bad some shops lock doors at night. Local leaders and shop owners say they’re abandoned by police, who’ve cut patrols and failed to respond to threats like knife attacks on kids, while drug dealing escalates. Though police claim they’re acting—with new funding and charges against teens—the ground truth is that neighborhood policing is overwhelmed. Councillors and community members are rallying for urgent, coordinated action, calling for a “short, sharp shock” to restore safety and pride in this once-vibrant area.
