PLANS to “kick-start” the regeneration of a run-down industrial estate in Widnes have been approved. The proposals will see Halton Council build 86 houses on sites formerly occupied by Tarmac and Stobart off Foundry Lane on the edge of the Golden Triangle industrial estate in Ditton. The council’s planning committee voted unanimously to approve the plans on Monday evening. In a report prepared ahead of the meeting, planning officers said the proposals would act as a spur to the long-stalled regeneration of the Golden Triangle that has been an aim of the council since at least 2004.
