The community consultation associated with the original Bootle Maritime City Challenge bid revealed widespread concern about the problem of drug use. In particular, a large core group of users of heroin and other injectable drugs was identified as a problem, both to the users themselves and to the broader community who saw themselves as victims of drug related crime.
A report, carried out by the University of Liverpool, called, ‘Drugs Relapse Prevention: Giving Users a Voice’, detailed research in relation to the needs of the client group within the area. The study reported the idea that a drugs relapse prevention unit was needed as part of the overall rehabilitation of recovering drug users.
