Riverside is a hotspot for benefits, with over 2,995 people on the dole, according to January 2016 statistics.
Unfortunately, this high figure is due to a number of things. Low wages and high living costs.
Since Merseyside is a growing county, it’s expected that the people living here will see an increased rise in the prices of most things.
