Ashton Forward - What do you want to see in Ashton Town Centre

As a part of the Ashton Forward Campaign initiated by Ian McCartney a firm called BDP has been appointed by Wigan Council to prepare some ideas to improve and shape the future of Ashton Town Centre over the coming years. They have only just started the work on this project and are very keen to ensure they have the correct understanding of the issues and ideas – therefore ensuring they are appropriate for the people of Ashton. They believe a plan developed with the community and that is supported by local people has a far greater chance of being successful and more importantly, actually happening.

Local people know local areas best and they want to hear from YOU. So please help them by spending 5 minutes and sharing your views and ideas about Ashton Town centre by filling in the form below. Please also leave them your general comments and suggestions about what you think the Masterplan should be seeking to achieve.
