Welcome to the Castlefields Regeneration Partnership's website. Here you can find out everything you need to know about the ongoing regeneration and renewal of Castlefields, Runcorn.
Why are we here?
The residential neighbourhood of Castlefields, Runcorn was developed as part of the New Town Masterplan between 1968 and 1972 by the Runcorn Development Corporation to help alleviate overcrowding in Merseyside. At the time of its development, its 2400 homes of which 1400 were deck access flats, was lauded as the future of sustainable living.
However, the 1980s saw a change in the fortunes for Castlefields with the area developing wide reaching environmental, economic and social problems leading to severe decline.
Who are we?
Since 2002 the regeneration of Castlefields has been guided by a partnership of Halton Borough Council, Plus Dane Housing, Liverpool Housing Trust and the Homes and Communities Agency.
