Halton Borough Council
Description
Halton is made up of the twin towns of Widnes and Runcorn together with the villages of Hale, Moore, Daresbury and Preston Brook. Halton is within one hour’s drive of the stunning scenery of North Wales and the Lake District and half an hour from the cultural, sporting and shopping opportunities of the cities of Liverpool and Manchester. Historic Chester is nearby.
The two towns were formally joined following a national reorganisation of local government, but links between Widnes and Runcorn stretch back nearly 900 years to the early 12th century when land on both sides of the river formed part of the Halton Barony.
Halton is an urban, industrial area whose main businesses are in chemicals, food processing, clothing, metal products and furniture manufacturing. The main service sectors are retail, financial, public and health administration.
