Meet the Castlefields Partnership
The Castlefields Partnership is about organisations, agencies and the local community working together to make Castlefields a better place to live. The formal Partnership consists of the Homes and Communities Agency, Halton Borough Council, Plus Dane Housing and Liverpool Housing Trust.
Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) is the single, national housing and regeneration delivery agency for England. The HCA's vision is to create opportunity for people to live in homes they can afford in places they want to live, by enabling local authorities and communities to deliver the ambition they have for their own areas.
Halton Borough Council is the local authority and landowner, responsible for the delivery of services in Castlefields including education, leisure and social services. A dedicated projects team within the Council co-ordinates and drives forward the regeneration of the area. Meet the Castlefields Regeneration Team.
Plus Dane (formerly CDS Housing) and Liverpool Housing Trust (LHT) are the two Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) that own most of the houses and flats in Castlefields. They are also responsible for the maintenance of many of the open spaces. The RSLs have a commitment to tenants on Castlefields and play a major role the regeneration of the area. Both have existing projects underway and are programmed to continue the renewal of the area.
