Making its future vision a reality

摘要

It's odds on that not many people outside the North West would have heard of Halton, the borough that straddles the River Mersey on its way to Liverpool. But those in local government who take an interest in which councils are winning praise from the Audit Commission will have no hesitation in identifying Halton Borough Council as being one of the country's most feted local authorities. In one word, its services are deemed to be 'excellent'. Halton is made up of the twin towns of Widnes and Runcorn, together with the villages of Hale, Moore, Daresbury and Preston Brook. It likes people to know it 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.
