The project aims to stimulate economic development in the area along-side the Sankey Canal and Mersey Estuary, between Spike Island in Widnes and Fiddlers Ferry Maria Marin in Warrington, using the history and heritage of the area as a catalyst to attract new business, help grow existing businesses and there by create jobs and apprenticeships in Halton, Warrington and the wider Liverpool City Region.
The proposed environmental improvements will make the location a more appealing destination for not only local people enjoying the benefits of an attractive open space, but also attracting tourists from the surrounding regional and national area.
