About

Halton Lea is a ward within the town of Runcorn in the borough of Halton. The area is primarily residential, featuring a mix of housing estates built from the mid-20th century onwards. It is situated directly south of the Manchester Ship Canal and the River Mersey, which form a distinct northern boundary. The landscape includes areas of open green space and playing fields interspersed with the residential developments.

The ward is anchored by the large Halton Lea retail park, a major shopping destination for the wider region. Residential streets are served by local schools and community facilities. A notable local feature is the presence of the historic Norton Priory museum and gardens located just to the east, though the priory ruins themselves sit outside the ward's boundary in Norton ward. Transport links include access to the Runcorn Bridge connecting to Widnes.
