We’ve been banned from getting supermarket deliveries because we live on the wrong SIDE of our street

RESIDENTS are fuming after a major supermarket axed deliveries to one side of a street - but not the other. Carden Avenue in Leeds was blacklisted by Asda over fears for drivers' safety from anti-social yobs. But while locals on the “no-go” side of the suburban road have been left scrambling for alternatives - neighbours opposite continue to receive their shopping as usual.

The supermarket snub has led to anger - and jealousy - from those on the excluded side of the road. Mum-of-four Kelly Smith, 37, slammed supermarkets for labelling her road "dangerous". She added: "Someone needs to tell Asda that crime doesn't stop halfway across the road.

"How is it fair that the other side gets their shopping delivered, and this side doesn't?. "I've had to go elsewhere - Tesco, Sainsbury's - which is annoying, because I prefer Asda food. "I don't even think it's that dangerous. They were kids on bikes causing a trouble a few months ago but that's all calmed down.".

She revealed the postman and Amazon still delivered to her home. "If it was that bad, they would have stopped coming," she said. "You don't see police down here very often, so how dangerous do they think it is?. "There's a lot of people down here who use Asda. It's really frustrating.

"I don't see why they can deliver it to the other side of the road, when it's the same street.". Asda shoppers in Carden Avenue were left perplexed in the summer when they tried to check out online, only to be be repeatedly informed that delivery slots had sold out.
