At Wigan Council, we have a culture that fosters positivity, courage, accountability, and kindness, rooted in asset-based ways of working, that make a difference for our residents.

Our Borough is made up of a collection of 14 brilliant towns making one great place to live, work and visit. Our residents are proud of the strong towns we have created together along with historic villages and a wealth of green spaces our borough has to offer.

We are at an incredibly exciting time here in Wigan as we embark on a bold New Era with our residents, communities and businesses. Progress with Unity is a new movement for change for the decade ahead built around our unique way of working with a commitment to two emerging missions:

Create fair opportunities for all children, families, residents and businesses by breaking down the barriers that create financial, health, education and environmental inequalities in our borough Make all our towns and neighbourhoods flourish for those who live and work in them as a genuine partnership with our residents and businesses, who know our communities best, we will help each town and village in the borough to celebrate and maintain their identity whilst understanding and helping to achieve what is needed to thrive.
