EXPLAINED: Merseyside town suffering from an identity crisis | Vintage Vibes

There are suggestions that one Merseyside town is facing an "identity crisis".

Newton-le-Willows is a market town of over 20,000 people, sitting on the outskirts of Merseyside, however, some living on the more affluent eastern side of the town have been known to claim they are a "village". The ECHO recently reported on a mystery homemade sign put up on High Street.

The sign read: "Welcome to Newton-le-Willows. Please drive carefully through our village." While people were quick to point out the sign may have been a wind-up, some believe it reflects some attitudes in the town.
