About

Beechwood & Heath is a ward in the Borough of Halton, on the Runcorn side of the borough in north-west Cheshire. It is an administrative area that returns councillors to Halton Borough Council and lies within Runcorn’s WA7 postcode area. The built environment is largely residential, with a mix of housing laid out around a network of local streets and small green spaces. Street-level shopping parades and convenience stores serve day-to-day needs, and the ward includes primary schools and community halls that act as hubs for local groups and activities.

Transport links are straightforward: regular local bus services connect the area with Runcorn town centre and wider Halton, and mainline rail and motorway access are within a short drive. Public play areas and pocket parks are scattered through the neighbourhoods, and local volunteer groups run seasonal litter picks and play-area maintenance schemes. The ward’s name reflects the two adjoining neighbourhoods it covers, each with its own cluster of services and small commercial parades that local residents use daily.
