What's on in your area?
The five neighbourhoods which make up Stronger Together in Warrington have been chosen because statistically they are among the most deprived in the town.
Although there are issues needing attention, and residents have a list of improvements that could be made, people do like where they live and they want to stay there. These people are prepared to work to improve their communities to make them places others will also feel proud to live in.
