Children born in wealthier parts of Wirral could live a decade longer compared to those born just down the road, according to statistics from Wirral Council
A child born in Greasby is expected to live 12 years longer than one born in Tranmere despite the distance between the two being just five miles.
The data shows the gap between the wealthiest 20% and the poorest 20% in Wirral is 8.5 years, highlighting large inequalities in the borough.
