Cllr Yvonne Klieve and Cllr David Molyneux with Council Street scene staff A COMMUNITY project to spruce up the borough’s district centres will start this month. The ‘cleaner, greener’ package of environmental improvements, that formed part of Wigan Council’s Our Town programme, were postponed last year following the pandemic. Leader of the council, Cllr David Molyneux, said: “The last 12 months have been incredibly hard on our residents and businesses and we want to make sure our towns are spruced up ready to reopen when the roadmap allows it.” Recognising the impact of the pandemic on local high streets, Wigan Council has committed an additional £400k to the Our Town pot, bringing the total investment to £1million. The extra funding will support additional activity, with a focus on community safety, high streets and greenspaces.
