I think you are being a bit unfair and a bit general with your post code lottery. I live in L20, parts of it are shit not going to disagree there but parts of it are perfectly acceptable also!! So far i have had no safety issues and no issues walking around at night from the train station (orrell park) to my home. I have lived in the L20 postcode for the last 5 years.
