Sefton Map

Sefton revealed as one of the areas in the UK with the deepest community roots

SEFTON has been named as one of the areas in the UK with the deepest community roots. Community life in Britain has weakened substantially over the past 30 years, according to research commissioned by the BBC. Analysis of census data reveals that 97% of neighbourhoods and communities in every part of the UK have become more socially fragmented over the past three decades. However Sefton has been revealed as having the deepest roots along with Bramhall area of Stockport in Greater Manchester, Charnwood West near Leicester, Upminster in east London and Washington in Sunderland. Professor Daniel Dorling, who headed the research team at the University of Sheffield, said: "These trends may be linked to higher likelihoods of fearfulness because we are less likely to see and therefore understand each others' lives." "The polarisation and segregation processes may also lead to stronger feelings of isolation." Read
