 | Warrington Bank Quay Report Nov 2026 | Purpose of this paper
This paper is offered as a constructive and supportive contribution to Warrington Borough Council’s Bank Quay ambitions.
It recognises the scale and importance of the Gateway proposals and seeks to help strengthen the movement, public transport and clean-energy elements of the masterplan.
The focus is on ensuring that Bank Quay is planned from the outset as a walkable, rail-connected, low-car and future-ready regeneration quarter, with Warrington’s Own Buses, active travel, heavy rail, compact VLR/lightweight tram options and clean-energy infrastructure considered as part of one integrated movement strategy.
It is written in a spirit of partnership: to help Warrington keep future choices open, strengthen the evidence base and make decisions that serve residents, businesses and future generations.

| Proposed Warrington Tramway October 2017 | Light Rail (UK) Warrington based, believes that Warrington's congestion and serious transport air pollution can best be tackled by provision of high quality public transport. There is an opportunity coming in the proposed rebalancing of the North - South economy
This can be provided by rail as part of the "Rail North" proposals and must include light rail and tramways, each mode providing optimal service for varying traffic flows. The essential requirement is full integration of modes, in terms of interchange and through ticketing, allowing seamless journeys into and within Warrington. Trams and light rail should form an essential component of our public transport provision especially connections in the East with Manchester Metrolink
We need our local politicians to be more proactive to secure Warrington's position as a central hub and future proof our transport links
