<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">local area</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for neighbourhood that I've seen before include "Local area (as watched)" , "Vicinity" , "Safety-in-the-locality scheme" , "Locality" , "District" .)
