Longford is a neighbourhood that sits just to the north of Howley and Fairfield and the area to the east of the A49, Winwick road. It is served by bus services 20 and 21 which have a combined frequency of every 5 minutes and operate as a circular route between Warrington Town Centre, Longford and Orford. In 2011 the Longford roundabout was removed and a new traffic light controlled crossroads junction took its place.
