Nice area to rent near Runcorn?

hi all

Just popped over from Oldstyle Moneysaving board for a bit advice. A friend has just got a job in Runcorn and is going up shortly to look for rented accommodation. She is a single woman so guessing one bed flat or small house.

She would like some advice about reasonably priced nice areas to live in commuting distance of work, she has a car.

Thanks

    The only advice I can offer is don't live anywhere that would involve a daily drive over the Widnes-Runcorn bridge.

    Assuming the traffic hasn't improved in the 7 years since I left Warrington.
    You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose but you can't pick your friend's nose.

    Frodsham and helsby are both nice and you can avoid the m56 rush hour.
  • Thanks for the info Rainshadow and Duskylady.
