For the last three decades, Warrington has enjoyed significant economic success and has been a driver for regeneration in the north west. At the same time, the town has transformed from one which was dependent upon traditional industry into a modern, forward-looking place. However, this economic success has also produced a growing gap between those communities that have benefited from this prosperity and those communities that have not and now find themselves in significant disadvantage.
More recently, the council and its partners have tried to tackle this gap while still ensuring that Warrington builds on this success and enhances its regional role. Regeneration, in its wider social, cultural, economic and physical sense, is now firmly embedded in the culture and action plans of the council. Much has been achieved and even more is planned.
So regeneration is firmly on the agenda and now there is a need to co-ordinate and focus on what we need to do and how we can get more people on board with this agenda. This is the purpose of the regeneration framework as we embark on the next leg of our journey to:
Make Warrington an outstanding town in the north west, with opportunities for all
