About

Poulton North is a residential ward situated in the northeast of Warrington, bordered by the Manchester Ship Canal to the north and the A57 road to the south.

Local amenities are centred around several district shopping parades, serving the daily needs of residents within the community.

The ward contains significant green spaces, including the playing fields at Great Sankey High School and the informal parkland around the former Sankey Sugar Works site. Industrial heritage is present through the canal, which remains a functional waterway.
