BUILDERS are making good progress with construction at Halton Court in Runcorn following the resumption of work at the end of last year. The 119-unit residential scheme is being delivered by Anwyl Partnerships, with Magenta Living and Onward Homes, following the appointment of administrators by Grappenhall-based Cruden Construction. The firm collapsed into administration last year. The main drainage infrastructure and central spine road is now in place, following collaborations with housing associations aimed at rectifying a series of critical design, planning and construction issues. The development includes a mix of two, three and four-bedroom homes which will boost shared ownership properties as well as those with affordable rent and is due to be finished at the end of next year.
