give us an idea how rough It is Well the
seagulls got flick
knives it's that rough Queens be's got
issues everyone's got issues Society
like um no one could afford feeding
themselves
government police cars up and down the
streets there was a murder down that end
of the street a couple years back so
it's not got the best reputation they're
getting things like uh Universal Credit
and they're also getting the cost of
living pay
and they're going out and spending it on
uh maybe alcohol and substances we had a
stabbing that next door to me and a few
door stand I had um arist with petrol
bombs Grimsby for hundreds of years this
port town in Northeast lincolshire on
the river Humber Esty punched well above
its
weight its fishing industry became known
around the world 285 90 90 280 a keil
out and at one point the town became the
largest and busiest fishing port on
Earth but after the industry started
falling poverty came
next and with the fish gone the town
changed with job losses low wages and a
lack of
infrastructure today average annual
household incomes in the town's East
Marsh are the lowest of anywhere in
England and Wales making it the poorest
part of the country these flag represent
our country in TAS this is real
britania it's a weekday morning on
grimsby's East Marsha estate where where
residents are beginning their day in the
poorest part of the nation of course
that's not to say everyone here is
living on the poverty line but the data
is
striking the average annual income for
an entire household here sits at just
22,000 a year that's over 10 grand less
than the UK national average and almost
a staggering
86,000 below London's affluent clap area
which has the highest in the country at
just above £
108,000 it's in East Marsh where we meet
Natalie who lives in the center of the
estate with her partner and four
children she receives around £22,000 a
month in benefit but as she begins her
shopping with Christmas on the way she's
struggling to make ends meet I get tight
well especially this time of year I get
tight on my budget I'll make sure my
bills and I done my big shop and then
whatever's left I get a little bits
obviously my Christmas presents and my
son's birthday present birthday stuff at
moment I'm not one of these with loads
and loads of money like where you can
just spend it every day and just go and
do big shoppings I get quite a few
benefits at the moment cuz I'm class
just one of the boys Caris cuz one of
them is
disabled so um I start to get my
Christmas presents and I done my
shopping online which is a lot cheaper
than in shops and Natalie isn't alone up
and down the country the cost of living
has hit homes and families hard with the
price of energy Rising by up to 60% in
the last 2 years and those Rises are
felt acutely
here single mom Cheryl lives in a
property that's covered in black mold
and infested with mice but turning up
the heating means less money for her and
the kids it is very difficult I've got
like I said four kids and then I'm
trying to keep on top of mold
mice and
condensation Windows because I've got
that one and my bathroom Windows the
same as well so it it is difficult I've
got my heating on all day every day
because obviously with the condensation
it means the Heat's escaping so my house
is colder than what it should
be so I'm paying more on my gas and
electric than I should be per week just
to keep the house warm to keep my kids
warm it is it is very tight yeah I mean
I make sure my kids have always got what
they need but yeah is definitely it's
can be a struggle it feels awful you
know I've got the kids coming up to me
you know we need to sort the mold out in
the room again mommy or we've just seen
a mouse run across the floor mommy you
know it's it's not
pleasant stories like this are sadly
nothing new for Grimsby and especially
the East Marsh the area is the most
deprived across the whole of Northeast
Lincolnshire and nearly every street is
in the the top 1% of deprivation across
the
country it's become associated with
higher levels of crime antisocial
