▪ Limited access to a vehicle seen in the ward may lead to isolation issues and a reliance on public transport and possible consequential restricted access to jobs and services.
▪ Changes made in the Welfare Reform Act may see increased levels of vulnerable households, leading to demands on services such as Food Banks, Emergency Limited Assistance Scheme, Housing Benefits, and Homeless Services.
▪ Calls for services across the ward have reduced to all providers (Merseyside Police and Merseyside Fire and Rescue) may lead to reduced demand in the area, however, the overall high levels of demand results and the reduction in budgets for such services may lead to increases in reports and therefore 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.

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. Within Litherland there is a higher than average reliance on most forms of benefits, the new reforms will lead to a potential reduction in
