About

Northwich Witton ward lies in the heart of the Cheshire West and Chester borough, centred on the historic market town of Northwich. The area is defined by its industrial heritage, shaped significantly by salt mining and chemical production. This legacy is visible in the local architecture and the very landscape, with areas affected by historical subsidence from brine extraction. The ward encompasses a mix of residential streets, local retail centres, and green community spaces along the River Weaver.

The Weaver's navigation is a key feature, with the town's history deeply connected to water transport for its salt trade. Modern Witton is a functional residential area, providing housing and essential services close to the town centre. Notable is the presence of the unique 'floating' church of St. Luke, built on a timber raft to counteract ground movement, a direct testament to the area's subsidence issues. Development continues, balancing this industrial past with contemporary needs.
