This Plan has been assessed by the DfT and graded as being ‘Excellent’. 1.1.2 Amongst the key issues identified within the LTP2 are the problems resulting from congestion on the Silver Jubilee Bridge (SJB), which, due to the high levels of demand, is unable to satisfy its dual role of providing for both strategic inter-urban movement and local trips between Runcorn and Widnes. 1.1.3 The impact of this congestion on the SJB is felt locally and sub-regionally through the constraints it places on economic development and regeneration, due to it’s adverse impacts on local and sub-regional highway networks when incidents occur, and in the inability to adequately provide sustainable transport to address accessibility and connectivity issues.

  • Winter 2018-19
    inside www.halton.gov.uk YOUR FREE MAGAZINE FROM HALTON BOROUGH COUNCIL WINTER 2018-19 www.halton.gov.uk Message from the Council Leader Welcome to our winter edition in which we commemorate the last year of the World War One centenary and give thanks to all those who played a part in that conflict. We are one year on from the opening of the Mersey Gateway Bridge and the benefits it is already bringing to Halton in terms of transportation, job creation and inward investment have surpassed our expectations. The opening of the new bridge has made it possible to carry out much-needed renovation work on the Silver Jubilee Bridge and to improve the roads around Runcorn Station making it easier to connect with the town centre, and enable opportunities for future developments in the ‘Station Quarter’. Halton is proud to have a tremendously diverse range of thriving businesses in the borough – many that people probably do not realise are here. Starting in this issue we take a brief look at a few of our commercial gems. Elsewhere we have important advice for staying warm and well during the winter months, and full calendar of activities and events throughout the next few months. The festive season will soon be upon us, so it just leaves me to wish you and your families a happy and peaceful Christmas and New Year. Cllr Rob Polhill Council Leader 13 As the rising costs of a funeral leave many bereaved families in debt, Halton Council has teamed up with a local funeral director to provide a fixed, low-cost funeral for Halton residents.
