Mean times in the neighbourhood (6)
I believe the answer is:
nearby
'in the neighbourhood' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'mean times' is the wordplay.
'mean' becomes 'near' (both can mean miserly).
'times' becomes 'by' (both can mean 'multiplied by').
'near'+'by'='NEARBY'
(Other definitions for nearby that I've seen before include "In the vicinity" , "somewhere close" , "Around the corner" , "A short distance away" , "Barney (anag)" .)
