LiveWire is here!


	LiveWire is the new name for your local leisure, libraries and lifestyle services In May 2012 they transfered from Warrington Borough Council into a brand new Community Interest Company, a not for profit distributing organisation. This means that any profit generated will be wholly reinvested back into developing and improving LiveWire facilities and services in the future. LiveWire will strive to represent your interests by promoting a healthy lifestyle, encouraging participation in activities, and stimulating a lifelong love of reading and learning through free access to books, computers and the Internet! We are in the process of updating the rooms on this portal and will return them soon.
