Are you contemplating moving home in Warrington during the next 9 months? You may be a Warrington landlord wondering whether you should grow your portfolio or sell off a few properties? Or you're a Warrington first-time buyer considering if now is the best time to move?

If you currently drive between Culcheth and Birchwood for work, or you've ever thought about cycling that route but ruled it out because of the A574, there's a development worth knowing about.

If you have a garden and you live in the WA3 area, you are genuinely well placed. Within a short drive there is one of the most visited garden centres in the country, a well-established local nursery, and a farm-based plant centre that most people combine with a breakfast stop. Here is what each one offers and what to expect.

The council's financial position has been making national headlines, the government has appointed ministerial envoys to oversee reform, Birchwood Park is being sold to Goldman Sachs, and proposed cuts include street lighting reductions and service reviews.
