About

Hough Green is a residential ward in the Borough of Halton, covering a section of Widnes. The area is built up mainly with mid-20th-century and earlier housing, a small parade of shops, and pockets of open space. Local facilities include Hough Green Primary School and community centres that serve neighbourhood clubs and activities. Streets around the railway and the shopping parade form the area's everyday centre, with local businesses and services catering to residents rather than visitors.

Transport and local services shape daily life: Hough Green railway station provides the most direct public transport link, and several bus routes run through the ward. Small green spaces and playing fields offer outdoor space close to homes. Community initiatives and local groups use the schools and halls for events, and property types range from terraced houses to semi-detached dwellings, reflecting gradual development over the last century. The ward is administered within Halton and forms part of Widnes for local planning and services.
