Lack of entertainment and facilities for the relatively small group of teenagers that live in the village resulting in anti-social behaviour around the park area. (the elderly population may be less tolerant of bad behaviour) The majority of the population is mobile (has a car) commutes to work and can access shops and services as and when needed – this leaves a group of aging residents that rely of public transport and need specific health care facilities which are not always viable to provide (these people then become very isolated) Anti-social behaviour as a result of the ‘party’ mentality of students often clashes with the ‘local’ residents (in 2000 Selly Oak appeared on the ‘Neighbours at war’ TV program) There is a significant gap in levels of education and earning potential between the student population and the group of unemployed / lower income households. Students are often promiscuous resulting in an increased need for sexual health clinics New migrants may struggle to integrate into society and access work due to language barriers.
