▪ Budgets cuts seen by both Merseyside Police and Merseyside Fire and Rescue coupled with the increases in rates of crime and disorder within the ward may result in increases in demand and therefor increasing level of direct costs. Associated with these issues are also indirect costs including lowered levels of community satisfaction and wellbeing; and reduced attractiveness to encourage businesses and job creators to locate in the area.
▪ There are overall lower than average levels of reliance on benefits in the ward, yet changes made in the Welfare Reform Act may see increased levels of vulnerable households and widening in inequalities in households, leading to demands on services such as Food Banks, Emergency Limited Assistance Scheme, Housing Benefits, and Homeless Services.

Emergency Limited Assistance Scheme (ELAS) Within Birkdale there is a lower level of reliance Applications on most forms of benefits; however the new reforms may lead to a potential reduction in Birkdale Application Status Count Ward Sefton household income for some of the more Total Applications 112 vulnerable residents in the ward. This could have Approved 72 64% 65% an increased demand on other provisions Partially Approved 8 7% 5% including ELAS, Food Banks and homeless services. Not Approved 32 29% 30% The reduction in household income may also have a knock on effect on local businesses and landlords.
The Welfare Reform Act introduced major changes to the national benefits system. As of November 2016 the benefit cap on household income was reduced from £26,000 per annum to £20,000 per annum. This was in addition to the already implanted reforms of the ‘bedroom tax’ (a reduction in housing benefit for occupants of rented housing who have more rooms than they are deemed to require); and council tax reduction scheme (the personal capital limit has been reduced from £16,000 to £6,000 for council tax liability meaning unemployed working age people, 16-64, with less than £6,000 being liable to pay 20% of the annual council tax bill). Along with the changes in limits and accessibility the way benefits are paid is also changing. Universal Credits is being introduced as a single means-tested benefit paid to people of working age replacing JSA, ESA, IS, HB, WTC and CTC. Personal Independence Payment is replacing DLA, it is a benefit for people aged 16-64 with a long- term health condition or disability that means they have trouble getting around or need help with daily living activities. These changes in the welfare reform system are going to have varying impacts across Sefton wards.

The ward has low levels of crime and disorder, however these levels have increased year on year. Budgets cuts seen by both Merseyside Police and Merseyside Fire and Rescue coupled with the increases seen, may result in increases in demand and therefor increasing level of direct costs.

Deliberate Fires Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service (MFARS) responded to 10 deliberate fires in the ward between January and December 2016. This is only 2% of all deliberate fires across the borough.
