Culcheth Access Improvement Scheme Engagement – Have your say
News 20 November 2025
Warrington Borough Council plans to enhance walking, wheeling (including wheelchairs, prams, and non-electric scooters), and cycling links between Culcheth and Birchwood. The aim is to improve access to job opportunities in Birchwood Technology Park and other areas of Warrington located south of the M62. The proposed route would also serve as a leisure facility for local residents.
The scheme plans to improve footpaths which run through existing fields then connects with the M62 Junction 11 via the edges of other parcels of land.
Key features of the scheme include:
- Approximately 3-metre-wide shared use tarmac path;
- Improved surfacing on New Hall Lane;
- Appropriate clear signage along the route;
- Consideration of providing lighting along the path; and
- As part of a separate scheme being delivered by the M62 Junction 11 developer, a continuation of the path will be provided with new signal controlled crossing points across the junction linking to Silver Lane.
