Major expansion slated for apartment block
Runcorn Weekly News
|October 02, 2025
A TOWN centre apartment block could be massively expanded if plans are given the green light.
-
A planning application has been submitted to Halton Borough Council to construct a new block at Midwood House in Travis Street in Widnes, which would increase the number of apartments by more than a third.
The former office complex is located near Widnes Police Station and a change of use application was submitted by property firm Osborne House in 2016 to convert it into a residential development.
