00:00Harkley, a less glamorous neighbour of True Court of Birmingham, is known for its inner city struggles with high crime rates and abandoned streets.
00:08Green spaces are hard to find in the local areas, often forgotten, especially by the city council, says the locals.
00:14The streets, once regularly cleaned, have seen no such service in over two years, contributing to the area's rough reputation.
00:22Among this backdrop, the White House pub stands as a symbol of community spirit.
00:28An old-school pub, it's home to friendly faces and a bar worker who knows everyone by name and drink.
00:35Here, the focus isn't on luxury but on ensuring customers have a good time.
00:40Harkley's story is one of the reliance and community strength overshadowed by the neighbouring Jewel Quarter Shine.
00:46It is a story that calls for attention and action, for a community that deserves to step out from behind the curtains and into a cleaner, safer future.
