Wigan Council's key areas of focus for the rejuvenation of town centres include Wigan, Ashton and Leigh
The growth of online retail has seen empty units mount in our town centres. And pulling people back is at the heart of a Wigan Council regeneration plan that wants to make its high streets a ‘destination’.
Plans for the multimedia centre were given the green light at the beginning of March and there is hope the new market hall, the first section to be built, could be completed by late 2024. Construction will only start once demolition of the old site is finished - which is set to conclude by the end of 2023.
This development is running alongside the rejuvenation of Wigan Pier where work began in February 2023. At the meeting on March 22, he said he no longer has the worry of “getting your head kicked in” when he comes to the centre. The project included plans for shop front improvements to replace ‘tired areas’ of the town centre and an overhaul of Leigh’s market hall.
Ashton-in-Makerfield After being hit with disappointment in January over their Levelling Up bid, Ashton received a huge cash boost in the Spring Budget to the value of £6.6 million. The #OurFutureAshton includes improved shop fronts, upgraded streets and public spaces, new walking and cycling routes and a refresh for the town’s market square.
“Now we need to get to work to implement the proposed improvements, and as a lifelong Ashton resident and councillor, I’m excited with what the future holds.”
