Gas and electricity use
Homes with gas used 9,454 kWh of it on average in 2024, about the same as the district, and 2,593 kWh of electricity, 12% less than the district's 2,932 kWh. There are gas meters for about 98% of the homes.
| Postcode | Electricity meters | Typical electricity | Gas meters | Typical gas |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WA7 1RG | 16 | 1,499 kWh | 16 | 8,924 kWh |
| WA7 1RQ | 9 | 3,115 kWh | 9 | 8,891 kWh |
| WA7 1BU | 21 | 2,560 kWh | 20 | 8,650 kWh |
These are all the homes on each postcode, whatever their size and however many live in them, so they show the kind of homes and heating here rather than what any one home uses. The typical figure is the median: half the homes used less. The district is WA7.

Planned projects can change or not go ahead; search the planning authority's applications by the reference shown for the plans, conditions and any objections. Construction brings traffic for some months; once built, solar farms and batteries are usually quiet, while turbines and waste plants can be seen or heard further away.
Roadworks
No street works under way, planned or finished in the last three months on this street, in permits up to 31 October 2026.
Flood risk
Rivers, the sea or surface water: in this street's postcodes, 0 addresses are in areas at high risk, 0 at medium risk and 1 at low risk. Each address counts once, at the higher of its rivers-and-sea and surface-water risk.
Rivers and the sea alone: no home is in an area at risk.
High: 3.3% (1 in 30) or more chance of flooding a year. Medium: 1% to 3.3%. Low: 0.1% to 1%. Very low: under 0.1%. The rivers and sea figures allow for flood defences. Counts cover whole postcodes, which can include other streets.
Flood zone for planning: no postcode centre on this street is in flood zone 2 or 3.
| Postcode | Planning zone | Addresses at high / medium / low risk | Groundwater |
|---|---|---|---|
| WA7 1RG | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 1 | unlikely |
| WA7 1RQ | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 0 | unlikely |
| WA7 1BU | not in 2 or 3 | 0 / 0 / 0 | unlikely |
Recorded floods
No recorded flood covers the centre of any of this street's postcodes.
Recorded floods are where floodwater was seen or surveyed after a flood. Many floods were never mapped, an outline over a postcode's centre does not mean every home in it flooded, and homes outside one may have. Ask the seller whether the home itself has flooded.
Coastal erosion
The nearest projected erosion zone is 650 m (0.4 miles) from the street's postcodes (by 2055, with the shoreline management plan carried out).
| Projection | Policy for the frontage | Erosion | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| By 2055, with the shoreline management plan carried out | No active intervention Great Ormes Head to Scotland | up to 10 m | 650 m (0.4 miles) |
| By 2105, with the shoreline management plan carried out | No active intervention Great Ormes Head to Scotland | up to 28 m | 650 m (0.4 miles) |
| By 2105, if defences are not maintained or built | No intervention Great Ormes Head to Scotland | up to 28 m | 650 m (0.4 miles) |
Each shoreline management plan sets a policy for each stretch of coast: hold the line (keep defences where they are), managed realignment (let the shore move back in a controlled way), advance the line, or no active intervention. Erosion is the distance the shore may move back, counted from today, for the higher central climate change allowance. The maps are guidance from national modelling, not a survey of any one home; the council's coastal team can say more.
Storm overflows
5 storm overflows within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the street's postcodes spilled 61 times, for 114 hours in all, in 2025. They discharge into Bridgewater Canal Via Sws, Manchester Ship Canal, River Mersey, Willow Brook.
| Overflow | Into | Spills | Hours | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Downs Road Combined Sewer Overflow United Utilities | Bridgewater Canal Via Sws | 0 | 0 | 380 m |
| Waterloo Road Cso (202Zw) United Utilities | Manchester Ship Canal | 5 | 1 | 650 m (0.4 miles) |
| Hardwick Road Cso United Utilities | Manchester Ship Canal | 34 | 100 | 780 m (0.5 miles) |
| Trentham P.s United Utilities | River Mersey | 18 | 4 | 1 km (0.6 miles) |
| Runcorn Town Hall Cso United Utilities | Willow Brook | 4 | 9 | 1 km (0.6 miles) |
A storm overflow lets sewage diluted with rainwater into a river, stream or the sea when heavy rain overwhelms the sewers, so the spills here affect the water they run into, not homes. A spill is counted the regulators' way: a first 12 hours, then each 24 hours it goes on.
Coal mining
No postcode centre on the street is in a coalfield: the Mining Remediation Authority records no coal mining risk here.
Radon
The highest radon potential in the 1 km squares around the street's postcodes is 1 to 3%: up to that share of homes there is estimated to be at or above the Action Level of 200 becquerels per cubic metre. At least part of that area is a radon Affected Area, where 1% or more of homes are.
Radon is a natural radioactive gas from the ground that can build up indoors; long exposure raises the risk of lung cancer. A three-month test with two small detectors is the only way to know a home's level, and a high level can usually be brought down with a sump or better ventilation. UKHSA sells a radon report for a single address from its detailed map at ukradon.org.
Historic landfill
2 historic landfill sites are within 500 m (0.3 miles) of the street's postcodes, the nearest 150 m away.
| Site | Waste went in | Waste | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Old Quay Quarry Old Quay Street, Runcorn, Cheshire | until 1973 | Inert, industrial | 150 m |
| Victoria Road Higher Runcorn | 1801 to 1923 | Not recorded | 350 m |
Closed tips can give off gas (methane and carbon dioxide) and leak into the ground for years. An environmental search, which conveyancers usually order, looks at landfill and contaminated land around the home; the council keeps a register of land it has found to be contaminated.
Height above sea level
The street's 28 addresses are between 15 m and 18 m above sea level (17 m on average).

Exam results are from the Department for Education's school performance tables (Explore Education Statistics, Open Government Licence), for all pupils at each school. The middle school in England had 63% at the expected standard at the end of primary school (2025), Attainment 8 of 46.0 at GCSE (2026) and an A level average of C+ (2025). Attainment 8 adds up a pupil's grades in eight GCSEs, with English and maths counted twice (90 is the most), averaged over the school's pupils. Progress 8 compares pupils with others who had the same results at the end of primary school; it is not published for GCSEs in 2025 and 2026, as those pupils sat no primary tests during the pandemic. Small year groups swing from year to year, and figures for very small ones are withheld.

What this page cannot tell you
- Whether a particular house is at risk of flooding, subsiding or anything else: the flood map is a model of areas and there is no property-level data here.
- What a home is worth now: sales are historic prices for the homes that happened to sell.
- How safe the street is: crime points are moved to anonymised locations and many crimes are never reported; road collisions count only those in which someone was hurt and the police were told.
- Whether you would get a place at a school: distances are straight lines, not catchments.
- Who lives on the street now: census figures describe the small areas around it in March 2021, during a lockdown.
- How long a journey takes or how often anything runs: transport distances are straight lines to the nearest stops.
- Whether a GP practice is taking new patients, or a dentist new NHS patients.
- How loud a home is inside, or noise from industry, neighbours or smaller airfields: noise figures are models of road, rail and air traffic outside.
How each figure on this page is matched to the street and worked out: methodology.
