Riverside is embarking on an exciting £120 million regeneration project to transform The Local Centre and The Uplands in the Halton Lea area of Runcorn. Since 2019 we have been working closely with local people to find out how to make the area a better place to live.

Through workshops, surveys, events and meetings with residents, businesses, community groups and others, we have been exploring opportunities to improve housing, the environment, public safety, transport links and community activities.  

Our aim is to create a well-designed neighbourhood with high-quality, energy efficient homes, improved landscaping and a thriving local centre with shops, services and community spaces. 

Riverside has a long history in Runcorn and owns a significant number of homes in Hallwood Park and Palace Fields. We know the area has a strong sense of community spirit and we want to make sure we deliver the changes the community wants. To do this, we are investing £60 million with a further £60 million coming from public funding. 

Take a look at the videos below to see the future vision for the development and what the new community will include. The Local Centre video reflects earlier plans, and we are updating it to reflect the latest designs.
