One of the meetings I attended recently was to decide which of the two preferred bidders would be granted the contract to undertake the design, construction and servicing of the Wigan Joint Service Centre which will transform the centre of Wigan and how services are delivered to the residents of the Borough from 2010.
There are three zones in the project:
1. An information and learning zone with a One Stop Shop for accessing a whole range of public services integrated with a new 'state of the art' library
2. A Healthy Living Zone incorporating health and social care services with a new pool and leiasure facilities
3. A neighbourhood zone bringing together agencies involved in environmental and community protection work like the Council, police, fire and voluntary sector
The aim will be to finish the buildings by December 2010 with services beginning from January 2011.
The whole cost of the scheme will be £67 million.
Please contact me if you need any more information about this project

Once again our local councillor voteing for Wigan to get yet more money spent on it when will it be Ashtons turn for some money spent not just industrial estates everything revolves around Wigan do they pay more council tax than the people of ashton NO SO WHY DO THEY GET EVERYTHING
We could spend all day complaining about Wigan getting money to no avail. Why? Because ashton is just a small town. We may love it but it's nothing compared to what makes up the economic and social centre of the borough. Do you honestly think the rest of the uk would rush to invest here because we concentrated on ashton? Don't be ridiculous. We need a vibrant Wigan but also a revitalised ashton.
