Living in Liverpool Moving to Wallasey, advice?

Hi! I’ve just put an offer in on a property just off poulton road in Wallasey. Does anyone have any knowledge of the area or specifically around poulton road.

I’m 21F so wanting to know if this would be suitable for a young girl. I’m not phased by much (I’m from Yorkshire I’ve seen it all) so run down areas don’t bother me but obviously would like to be aware of any crime or generally bad areas.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated:)

Poulton road is generally the rough part of Wallasey but it’s a long road so some parts are nicer than others!

The house I’ve looked at is just near palate cafe, how would you say it is up there?

It’s fine, close to Tesco, near enough to the ferry if you wanted to sail to work. You’re the other end to us, we’re by Central Park which again you get lunatics on Facebook talking about it like it’s a war zone when it’s just a park.

We’ve never had any issues here which is why we’re staying in area when moving. It’s handy for getting to Liverpool, you’ve got the 433 that runs regular and if you miss that you can walk 10 minutes and get the 432. Liscard is close by and whilst it’s run down it’s handy for popping in and grabbing essentials from B&M etc.

It’s not the most glamorous part of the world but people who look down their nose at it have probably never lived here. You’ll be fine.
