Warrington Borough Council is planning a £10 million active travel scheme to improve connectivity between Culcheth and Birchwood. The project, supported by local regeneration levelling up grants, involves constructing a new shared-use footpath to link New Hall Lane in Culcheth to a location north of the Birchwood Way roundabout near the M62 junction 11.

The initiative is intended to increase access to employment hubs, such as Birchwood Technology Park, while promoting sustainable travel and reducing reliance on vehicles. The council has sought a screening opinion to decide if a full environmental impact assessment is necessary for the development.
