However, this area is not only visually derelict but also financially derelict.
In 2016 the total amount of benefits being distributed to the people living there was £126.1 million.
It’s a shockingly high amount of money.

Bootle and the surrounding area is one of the areas of the country that underpay their workers, which in turn drives up the need for benefits like Job Seekers Allowance and other employment-related benefits.
Ensuring that you have enough money to survive in this area of the country is tough. As a result, a lot of people have turned to alternative methods in order to gain the finds they want.
This includes working illegally, stealing, drug dealing- just to name a few things.
