We're really pleased to share that we have been shortlisted for the 2026 Northern Housing Awards in the Best Approach to Decarbonisation category. It’s a fantastic recognition of the hard work our teams put in every day to make sustainability part of how we operate as an organisation.

This shortlist isn’t about a single project. It reflects how we’re improving the energy efficiency of our homes, supporting customers with practical advice, planning ahead for future climate risks and making sure colleagues feel confident making sustainable choices in their day‑to‑day work.

Our recent SHIFT Gold accreditation is another sign of the progress we’re making.
We’ll find out in June whether we’ve won, but for now it’s great to see our commitment to greener, more resilient homes and communities being recognised.

Fingers crossed for the final! 🌱✨

🌱 Growing more good in our community! 🙌

We’re really proud to support the Grow Your Own project through our Helping Hands Fund. With new funding approved by our former Customer Forum, the team can now expand their plots, grow more fresh produce, and help even more local people get involved in community growing.

It’s a brilliant example of how customer-led decisions make a real difference across Runcorn. 💚

🚔 Illegal e‑bikes seized in Hough Green 🚲

Thanks to a joint operation between our Neighbourhoods Team and Widnes Police, two high‑powered electric bikes causing disruption in the Hough Green area have been recovered and will now be crushed.

Residents have shared growing concerns about dangerous riding on local roads and pavements, so this is a great result for community safety.

❄️ How Our Winter Warmth Scheme Helped This Winter ❄️

This year, our teams took Winter Warmth support straight to customers’ doors. Instead of holding events, we handed out warmth packs during day‑to‑day visits, making it easier and more private for people to get help.

From October to February, we supported 26 customers, with fuel vouchers, Energy Project Plus referrals, and Welfare Benefits appointments. Each pack included winter essentials like socks, gloves, a hot water bottle, hand warmers, a blanket and more.

Many customers told us they appreciated the simple, face‑to‑face support at home. It helped us spot issues early and get people the right help quickly.

We offered doorstep Winter Warmth support throughout the winter, helping customers stay warm by providing quick, simple, and discreet help during routine visits.

Yesterday we said a big thank you to the customers who have been part of our Customer Forum and Scrutiny Panel. For many years, these volunteers have helped us improve our services and make sure customers’ voices are heard. 🙌💙

We’re now getting ready for our new Customer Committee, starting 1st April. This new group includes both customers and Board Members, giving an even stronger voice in shaping the services you receive.

Thank you to everyone who has been involved. Your time, ideas and support have made a real difference for other customers and our communities. 👏

Crow Wood Gardens Update

Our Crow Wood Gardens development in partnership with Halton Borough Council is coming along great!

Our monthly drone photography really highlights how far the development has come. Comparing the May 2025 image (taken two months before work began) with the latest shot from January 2026 shows just how quickly the site is taking shape.

The ground floors of all apartments and bungalows are now in place, with individual room layouts clearly visible from above. Work on the second floor of the apartments is also well underway.

These milestones mean we’re on track for the apartments to become watertight by late April/early May, with the bungalows following shortly after.

It’s fantastic to see this much-needed housing development coming to life — and it won’t be long before future residents can call Crow Wood Gardens home.

*These homes will not be advertised on Property Pool Plus.
