Walk into town
Walking from NW Station to near the Moon under Water leaves little to be desired.
Our MP and local Councillors need to take a walk on both sides with eyes wide open….disgraceful

Most of them don't know what Wigan looks like Roy.

Many of the Concillors, especially those from Leigh never go into the Wigan town centre except for a full Council meeting.

And in my opinion, That section is one of the better areas, there are shops , pubs and cafe's , Go into Wigan from Frog lane and its a bomb site, come in from Wigan Lane Down Standishgate and its ' find a native of England' ,Its a new era everywhere and we have to accept it, This is now how it is,
EVERYWHERE,

As you walk up Wallgate from the NW Station, you notice that the town is full of 'scumbags' Market Place and the Moon Under Water in particular are havens for the 'dregs of society' and upon laying my eyes on these 'foul creatures' I can only hope that the other 'vermin' which infests Market Place, the pigeons, will do us all a favour and shit upon these 'degenerate hoards of human filth'

so i'm guessing you would go over to anyone sat outside the moon and call them "dregs of society" or "vermin"

Every town is going the same .What can you expect when thousands of extra people not working .They wont get a regular full time job they will have to pay rent and all their perks will stop. Their motto is get what benefits they can and work on the side.Get ready for thousands more.These people watch pintchy and perky all the time.

The only people paying anything in nowadays seems to be the pensioners!

Aren't they following Wigans regeneration plans. BB?
The Hardshaw centre demolition will make way for the first phase development, with a 25,000 sq ft Market Hall flanked by a mixed-use area that includes 11,000 sq ft of modern retail space, 64 new homes and a 120 bedroom globally-branded hotel.

If food in the shops was free in Sent Ellen's I wouldn't go there shopping. Absolute arse end of the country. Had a few days in Newcastle the other week, was surprised at the lack of litter but even the market hall near St James Park is struggling!

Admit it...Wigan is well and truly goosed. Run down...no investment
.scroungers and beggars abound...dank pubs...eyesore...KEEP IT.

BB, come on. St.Helens is exactly the same. Both town centres are has-beens.
Fox-features, St.Helens isn't Liverpool. Billinge Biker lives in Wigan Borough, in Greater Manchester, so he's not a Micky Mouyser, raaaaight!
