Residents of a neighbourhood labelled as a "no-go area" by Conservative MP Paul Scully have invited him for a tour of its famous Balti Triangle.

He made the comment in radio and TV interviews on Monday, prompting accusations of Islamophobia and a rebuke from the prime minister.

The remarks sparked fury among Birmingham's Sparkhill community, which is famed for its array of South Asian shops and restaurants.

Mr Scully has since apologised. Listener Mohammed Rehman, who has lived in Sparkhill for over 40 years, was angered by the MP's comments.

Our reporter Chris Blakemore took a tour of the area with the taxi driver to find out why the resident loves the place.
