How much do you know about Birkenhead? Either little or much, did you know that Birkenhead is one of the poorest towns in England? What does the fact really show? That’s the purpose of this video. Birkenhead is a town and ferry port in England located in the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral, Merseyside. This town may or may not be popular with many of our audience, depending on what they are searching for. If you want to know more about Birkenhead, it has been featured in one of our videos profiling towns in England. We’ve discussed other towns and cities considered to be listed among the poorest. For now, it is the turn of Birkenhead. Let us focus on it.
The Town’s Official Position
It’s quite commendable that the officials of the town aren’t denying the obvious-that their town is one of the poorest. They’re unlike other politicians who selectively employ statistics to highlight projects whose effects aren’t being felt by the people-just to score political points. For instance, Mick Whitley, Birkenhead’s member of Parliament once admitted, “Birkenhead is one of the most deprived towns in the country” adding that the town has two of the poorest wards. He also said: “Our unemployment levels and our claimant count are above average.”
Also, Councilor Pat Cleary, one of the three ward councilors for the town and Tranmere cited a shift in the societal order at Birkenhead, at Wirral Council that “shocked the political elite.” He blamed this sordid situation on a combination of factors such as underfunding, bad town planning, and wider trends around shopping habits. He also decried the city’s lack of a mass transit system as denying the people the opportunity of getting around without a car.
Councilor Steve Hayes is another councilor whose words are weighty when it comes to Birkenhead’s situation. He was taken to the town at age two and he surely knows his onions when he speaks about the town. He described the town as one without a Local Plan for many years while citing a few abandoned projects. One of the reasons he gave for the poor state of the town is that the huge investments made for the town have been allowed to go downhill progressively. He also lamented a lack of funding.
Birkenhead in the Past
Birkenhead used to be the beating industrial heart of Wirral. For hundreds of years, the ferries across the Mersey were a common feature of the town. They aided to build a bridge to trading in Liverpool since the 14th century. The first underground railroad in the world which was built in 1886 also aided huge growth along the east coast of the peninsula. That is why Birkenhead became part of the “New York of Europe.”
The development was sustained till the next century. In fact, in the 1960s, this boom ensured that the unemployment levels in Wirral were as low as 2.5 percent.
A Change in Fortune
In the last few decades of the 20th century, fortune started to move on toward the negatives. Those decades of decline and neglect brought untold hardship and difficulty to the people. Its heritage and identity started disappearing and were eventually lost in the face of unemployment and stagnation. It got so bad that the unemployment rate in Birkenhead reached 35 percent in 1993. It was even worse among men as 52 percent of them had no job. Up till now, you would see rows of empty shops there. Honestly, everything is wrong with Birkenhead as one of the poorest towns in England. We do not have to gaze about to see.

Well if this video was created 2 months ago given the youtube date then its at best inaccurate. Some of the pictures are years out of date and others are not of Birkenhead but of Liverpool. The town does require regeneration and that is currently underway despite the labour controlled council, including Mr Whitley not giving coherent replies to concerns and the Council getting extentions to deadlines of them not spending leveling up funds. That's not the issue with this video. Learning Canteen appear to be nothing more than a hit piece channel and their research is nothing more than a 30 minute Google search linking to a majority of old pictures and other RU-vid snippets. Its poor content at best and quoting the BBC certainly won't get you any bonus points as after a long list of journalistic inaccuracies their spokes lady for disinformation, Marianas Spring has just been outed for telling lies on her CV to get a job in journalism capacity.

@autisticdrone. 8 месяцев назад

The Wirral council have currently chosen to spend vasts sums of money on their nice new big office block, instead of regeneration projects. They are a tad incompetent at many simple tasks, and cut corners. The roads are a classic example, lots of pot holes and sunken grids to snap your springs. Recently they Re-dressed the roads; ( Dumping loose stones on the road and a bit of tar instead of proper resurfacing) The results are a poor repair. Their workmen resurfaced some public footpaths recently, and made a right mess off it. They have started their war on motorists with unnecessary 20mph speed limits that are not near schools. In this video, Not all the photos are from the Wirral .

@ianphillips9455 8 месяцев назад

Like most places in the North, Wirral has had Millions of pounds taken from it by central government over 3.3 Billion £s has been taken from Northern councils meanwhile Southern councils have gained about 3 billion pounds at the same time so maybe better to blame the right people that also introduced laws that meant that lots of council services are handed to private companies that just so happen to be connected to the "right" people.

I was born in the 50's so I've seen a lot of changes and I'm sad to see what it has become. The council have gutted this town. It all started when Hamilton Square traffic flow was changed. Hamilton Square was like a legal hub with all the buildings occupied by offices and businesses to supply those offices. The council killed the businesses by changing traffic flow in the squaret and by doing so killed that part of town. A giant swathe of land was cleared for a dock regeneration scheme 25yrs ago displaced 100's of families and the ground is still barren. I've got a story for you all. I live in Birkenhead in a street of terraced houses. At the bottom of the street there is a small patch of grass with about 5 mature trees on it and it is used regularly by dog walkers and kids and sometimes small street parties. It's a nice patch of green amongst all the bricks. Around the perimeter is a 4ft fence made of sturdy iron and could easily last for 100yrs or more. Well, Wirral council has decided to get rid of that fence and replace it with a 6ft sheet of steel mesh, which probably won't last 10yrs. The work has been going on all week and it will go into next week. A team of 4 men every day plus the tools, equipment and materials would cost many thousands and all for nothing. Meanwhile the council is closing libraries and cutting services right across the borough whilst also introducing 20mph zones. But I love Birkenhead and the people who live here, they are my people.

Not knowing much if anything about how things work in The U.K. here in The U.S. in the 2020s poor cities such as Detroit are experiencing a resurgence as young people move to the area buying up cheap properties then restoring them and opening various enterprises. They also buy surrounding homes and neighborhoods restoring them as well, or turning them into Green spaces for parks or even farming and community gardening. The key is making the property cheap to purchase so these young investors will be willing to take the chance. It has worked remarkably well on this side of the pond.

@teggsy2165 Год назад

Wirral Council can not unblock grids brush streets prune trees or repair a pot hole to last more than about a week,when you do not sweep roads brush up leaves grids block roads flood and sewage even comes out of some grids because nothing works anymore as far a drainage goes by us,not pruning trees means more leaves from bigger leaf mass,Liscard has so many grids blocked because rubbish builds up,the way they repair roads nowadays is even pathetic Walked up Manor Road Liscard and they are filling cracks in the tarmac and all up the road looks like a child has patched it up today. They cut corners so much Wirral is broken. Rubish on the Motorways here is the worst ive seen hard shoulders do not get cleaned up for months and road signs are not readable as in too dirty or buried in overgrown verges. It's third World stuff going on under our Council now.

The situation in Birkenhead is symptomatic of the breakdown of society in Britain as a whole. The grammar school I attended there as a boy is gone, so too the comprehensive with which we were merged. The church I attended stands derelict against the sky. The hall where I went to Boy's Brigade is an empty shell. The shops where I spent my weekly spends are boarded up and empty. It's not a matter of 'more investment' (other people's money) needed. That would be no more than a temporary sticking plaster. The ills are not financial. There is a lack of purpose, a Godless malaise that lies like a green mould over a society that has lost its bearing and consequently its stability, hope and vision.

As a born and bred Birkenhead man 56 years old.. This town has been like this for the last 100 years at least and I am not joking. I moved away for better living but I miss my family so much and I am stuck between a rock and roll and a hard place now I've been away for 37 years. I love my family but I don't think I could go back due to the fact that the council have never once put a penny into this town. We are labelled criminals and thugs??. I call it survival It's the politicians who are the criminals because it's obvious that they are putting the money in their own pockets. It's so sad seeing people who are the salt if the earth being slow killed . I have grown up hardened due to the common purpose that runs through Birkenhead and the people are pawns to keep the judicial system running.. It's a bloody crime and people have suffered long enough now in this town and it's time for change. This just made me cry 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Brought upon themselves. I was brought up in Birkenhead, Woodchurch. Went to a London Shipping Company for my apprenticeship as a Marine Engineer and got sent to Camel Laird's for the industrial module. The shock to my system was massive. Pure union run in the most inefficient way possible. After finishing at sea I found that the ultra-left unionists ran everything. I was expected to go to a convener's home to beg for a Union Card to work. I just let my qualifications do the work and entered technical management instead. Eventually moved away and had a much better life for it. Since when I found that there was a complete reluctance by companies to open there. Even Vauxhall had to be bribed and cajoled by the government to go there.
