Warrington is becoming an economic star in the Northwest.
The recent Cities Outlook report shows private sector employment growth as leading
in the region, strong business start-up activities and a good recovery in
average earnings after a drop in 2012 (top in the Northwest). In the whole of
the UK, Warrington comes in 5th for qualification levels and 9th
for employment in the survey.
This is a great performance overall and when put together
with reasonable house prices and good local facilities this makes Warrington a
good place to work and live. So what is driving this prosperity, which puts
Warrington as one of the strongest performing areas in the country? Is it
location, location, location?
Warrington ‘New Town’ benefits from the road network and
airport access. The planned port development ‘Atlantic Gateway’ and all that
comes with it promises to bring in around 250,000 jobs by 2030. The Omega
development of over 200 Hectares, straddling the M62 has finally started to
take off. The future looks good for Warrington. Business. Jobs. Money. With
prosperity also comes challenges, where will people live and how will they get
to work? Keep watching regional house prices, congestion and the cost of fuel.
It all has to stack up to keep the show on the road.
