THREE DAYS: Since our open letter to Wigan Council and PLP and there has been no contact or concern from either party. You can read our letter here: instagram.com/reel/DOa0xHgCK… Is it acceptable for our community to live like this?

‘This is not what we paid for.’ Residents in Wigan say their lives have been wrecked by five giant warehouses built in the heart of their community, with mental health, home values and family life all suffering. —Sophie Reaper reports. ‘It’s soul destroying!'

The Housing Secretary Steve Reed is promising more measures to help businesses, as he puts it, “build, baby build”. He is bringing forward plans to speed up the approval of new water reservoirs and onshore wind farms as a part of a shake up of planning laws. The new powers

'When did you guys begin to realise that they weren't stopping that this thing would grow and grow?' The government has announced plans to stop new building projects from being ground to a halt by local councils. But people in one neighbourhood in Greater Manchester are up in

Our statement after Wigan Council’s announce they will undergo an independent audit into their decision to approved four monster warehouses in our community.

A community who have seen their homes overshadowed by the construction of four huge industrial warehouses near Wigan have served notice to the Council in an attempt to halt building. Residents say the 18-meter-high warehouses are 'monstrous'. Jonathan Swain reports.

Ooofff!

Have you heard about our fight against the approval of 4 monster warehouses in Astley? Approved by Wigan Council without an environmental impact assessment and with a wholly inadequate consultation process from Peel Logistics Property? Whistl are due to move in a few weeks time

Today, I’m heading up to Wigan to speak to residents, who claim not to have had a public consultation about THIS monstrosity built literally on their back gardens.

Apparently planners thought this small amount of vegetation (that will of course takes years to grow) would be adequate enough to cover the 60 foot industrial warehouse… Astonishing. Speaking with residents shortly, will bring you their thoughts unfiltered tonight.

Hello Wigan Council please can you pick up the phone to us or just respond RE why the council thought an Environmental Impact Assessment was not needed on this? Our own privately advised assessments shows that this should never have gone ahead without an EIA… keen to understand

I mean just look at that!!. How on earth can Wigan Council think that's ok?!!! It's DREADFUL! I feel so much for all involved in standing up against this complete miscarriage of justice. AstleyWarehouseAction #shameonWiganCouncil

An explosive and damning report from Alex Armstrong on @gbnews last night. Alex & his panel looked into the decisions Wigan Council made to make these monstrous 60ft Astley warehouses a reality. You can watch it in full on their YouTube: youtu.be/QYqEzoJSrBg?si…

There's got to be a documentary on netflix⁷ about this because you just could not make this up....it's an incredulous story but its not a story, its real life. This needs to serve as one of those planning quotes "has Astley due diligence been adhered to" so any future monumental
