Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Speke-garston, Liverpool

The neighbourhood is a hellhole. Do a search in the Liverpool Echo site for Lowbridge Court before you move here. Over the 5 years we've lived there there has been a £15 million drug bust down the street, a drug dealer living in the apartment opposite us on the hallway, a cannabis farm in the apartment neighbouring that one, and a drug dealing gang living in the next apartment block over which victimised us when they realised we were a same-gender couple with multiple public order offences and physical assaults all recorded with the police. The estate management company is obstructive to tenants in dealing with these matters and say they retain CCTV footage for only 7 days, don't recall footage on request of tenants (only the police, who usually take longer than a week to properly begin their investigation, they also ask the police to pay for recalling the footage). When we left this gang was openly dealing drugs out of the front gates and persistently loitering around outside their block causing anti-social behaviour issues with residents.
Additionally, despite it being against the terms of the leasehold, the apartment directly beneath is let out as an AirBnB style booking and has people coming and going causing noise at all hours of the day and having parties. Estate management has also taken no effective steps to remedy this at the time we left (Feb 2020).
