Mayor Turns on Gold Lights
Did you know in 2024 it will be 50 years since the borough of Halton was created? Community partners and the Council have put together a year of events and activities for everyone to take part in and enjoy.
Launched with both bridges being illuminated Gold from 1 January, the anniversary celebrations – Halton 50 – will include shows, exhibitions, artworks and outdoor events.
Norton Gaia
The installation aims to create a sense of the Overview Effect, first described by author Frank White in 1987. Common features of the experience for astronauts are a feeling of awe for the planet, a profound understanding of the interconnection of all life, ad a renewed sense of responsibility for taking care of the environment.
