Crime / Crime and Anti Social Behaviour (ASB) rates are relatively high within Dukes ward when compared to the Borough as a whole. However the Disorder & rates of crime and ASB within this ward may have been adversely affected as a result of the thriving night time economy that exists within Environmental the area and the transient population that this attracts. Vehicle crime is the biggest concern having had a 42% year on year increase. Issues Conversely violence offences have reduced by almost 18% year on year. Overall environmental issues reduced in Dukes by 2.3%. Fly Tipping (which showed an increase of 6.7%) remains the most prominent environmental issue accounting for almost half of all calls.

The Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) measures levels of deprivation, across seven domains, nationally at Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) level. This provides a mean score and ranking allowing areas to be compared relatively to other areas

The map shows the overall IMD scores within Sefton to show relative deprivation across the borough.

Dukes Ward is made up of eight LSOA’s, none of which are amongst the worst affected 10% across the borough. There is, however, one LSOA in the least deprived 10% of Sefton areas.

Whilst no Dukes LSOA’s are in the most derived 10 % across the borough, there are two that feature amongst the most deprived 10% nationally.

As the two LSOA’s that fall into the most deprived 10% nationally are the two most densely populated within the ward, this equates to approximately 28.6% (3,719) of all Dukes residents living in areas that are amongst in the most deprived 10% nationally.

2010 IMD results show that six of the eight LSOA’s that make up Dukes ward have a lower deprivation rate than they did in 2004, indicating that the relative levels of deprivation in the area has reduced.

On average the LSOA’s that make up Dukes ward have seen a

reduction of 2.20 in the deprivation score since 2004, the fifth largest average reduction of all 22 Sefton wards.
