A recent report revealed the worst place to walk in the country
Cracked pavements, no street lights and dingy underpasses. That's what makes this place the worst in the country for walking, according to a recent report.

However, the road itself, and the proximity of it to the footpath, provide an immediate danger, particularly when crossing the road. The last time I was on Scotland Road was to cover the tragic death of Nicole Cummings - a rough sleeper who was killed following a crash involving a lorry on the junction of Wilbraham Street.
To avoid a dangerous road crossing, you face two options - a walk through a dingy, unlit underpass, or a significant detour that takes you on the raised path over the top of the entrance to the Kingsway Tunnel. A walk through an underpass instantly provides a number of issues. Twenty-three-year-old Jessica, who only wanted to be known by her first name, tells me she faces the daily challenge when she walks from her Vauxhall home to her retail job in the city centre. She says how if she finishes work late, particularly in the winter, she will get the bus home instead of facing the walk on her own because she "wouldn't feel safe".
"Liverpool is obviously a very urbanised city. It doesn't have much access to public rights of way. That's not just limited to Liverpool but also extends to Knowsley and Sefton as well. It's worth pointing out that you can't just make country walks in the city.
