Halton Borough Council is the local government authority for a district in North West England, operating as a unitary authority. It delivers governance and public services to the towns of Widnes and Runcorn and to the civil parishes of Hale, Daresbury, Moore, Preston Brook, Halebank and Sandymoor. The council originated in 1974 as a district of Cheshire and gained unitary powers on 1 April 1998, placing it within the framework of UK local government. In 2026, Halton Borough Council launched the Winds of Change public artwork in Widnes Town Centre, a recent example of its cultural initiatives in the borough. It also collaborates with local organizations on education and community grants, including events recognizing educators and the Pride in Place Small Grants Fund to support local projects.
