Strong Progress at Mercia Place! 🏗️

We’re excited to share new photos and video showing the fantastic progress at our Mercia Place independent living scheme in Runcorn.

Mercia Place will offer 66 affordable one- and two-bedroom homes for over‑55s, right in the heart of Runcorn Old Town.

Inside, the apartments have now reached decoration stage, with communal areas also moving forward quickly. Externally, the scaffolding is down and work on car parking, footpaths and bin stores is well underway.

The scheme remains on track to welcome its first residents later this year.
