It would appear your clue is from the Cryptic? Have not come across it down here yet, however the only word I can construe from the letters you have given is "desists"

But of course it is!
Dubious looking (not quite perfect, mixed up = anagram) Side + sts (streets) = DESISTS

Saphi,
That's the thing about cryptics - once you know the answer they are just SO obvious. Hope my previous post didn't sound condescending or rude - it was meant as 'aha, the penny drops!'
