One Merseyside area has been labelled as "thriving" after years of struggle and deprivation.
Netherton in south Sefton has spent years being restricted by a low standard of living in comparison to other areas in the country, but the area now looks to be on the rise as people across the community come together. One key factor in the revival of the area has come from a surprising source.
Netherton CommUnity is a Facebook group that has just turned three years old, and in surprising fashion, the social media group has proved to be a key part of the community, especially during the pandemic that forced people indoors and online. During the pandemic, the online group has proved to be a space where people across the area could come together virtually when they couldn't physically.
