    Bootle, being part of Sefton, has the same local council as the likes of, Crosby, Hillside, Formby, Ainsdale, Birkdale, and Southport. The people of Bootle pay the same rate of council tax, as all the other aforementioned Boroughs. There is something fundamentally wrong with todays society, when certain areas are left to decline, while others receive the handouts. Its bordering on criminal neglect.

      People who don't know about marsh lane or haven't experienced it would probably find it hard to believe me and think I'm exaggerating when I say in 2023 Marsh Lane is looking at its best and at its least deprived in over 40 years.

    Sefton council has never cared about Bootle. It’s too close to the city centre, only two and half miles from millers bridge to the pier head. Sefton only cares about the posh areas, such as Crosby, Formby, and the likes of Maghull. There needs to be a new reworking of the council districts. The whole north end of Liverpool, including Bootle, is severely neglected. Just look at the Everton area, parts of Croxteth, and the surrounding places.

I think the 1st places they flooded it with was crocky an bootle and totally destroyed them 2 places. I think all that happened in just under a year and in just over that year when they sent it over the water that Liverpool became notorious as the UK,s 1st smack city and the rest is an embarrassing history

I stopped using 15 years ago because it was becoming that crap .

    They re not even in Marsh Lane!!!i
    One is in Chaucer Street,and 2 in Irlam Road. Do your homework before slagging off Marsh lane.
    By the way look at the increase in house prices in the area. I am cancelling my subscription. You have lost your credibility totally.

    Billys visits are good but inevitably much the same. Might be better to research and comment from a historical perspective of the flooding of Heroin to these communities across Britain in the 1980’s and then the MDMA in the 1990’s. It wasn’t organic Billy. Who exactly was doing it Billy and WHY, that’s a video worth watching!
