| From 1 April 2009, Cheshire West and Chester Council is the new Council replacing Chester City Council, Ellesmere Port & Neston Borough Council, Vale Royal Borough Council and the western part of Cheshire County Council. The pages and documents through this website may contain branding and information relevant to the old councils, but are being made available because they are still relevant to our customers. We are continuing to update all materials on the Cheshire West and Chester website and aim to remove all references to the old Councils by the end of the year (2009). |
Northwich Mines Project
|
In July 2002, English Partnerships approved a grant of £28 million for the stabilisation of the four abandoned rock salt mines under Northwich town centre. The grant secured the future of the town and enabled innovative regeneration plans to move forward.

Mines infrastructure work commenced in January 2004 and the infilling of all the mines was completed in July 2007. There is more information about this award winning project in A World First - The Northwich salt mines stabilisation project booklet (PDF format).
