Warrington Borough Council Secures £500k for Sankey Street Roadworks Phase Two
What happened
Warrington Borough Council has been awarded £500,000 of Mayoral Investment Fund funding to deliver Phase Two of the Sankey Street roadworks scheme during the 2027/28 financial year. This project aims to upgrade the area from Bold Street to Crosfield Street, improving travel for pedestrians, cyclists, and buses. The funding is part of a larger initiative where 15 projects across Cheshire and Warrington are receiving over £4 million from the Combined Authority's Mayoral Investment Fund.
Why it matters
The investment supports the regeneration ambitions of Warrington, aiming to create a more attractive town center and support increased footfall. This funding is part of the broader governance structure involving the Combined Authority for Cheshire and Warrington.
Developments in local governance include the combined authority formation of Cheshire and Warrington, and advocacy for devolved powers from London.
