A major plan to boost links between Wigan and its neighbouring town of Bolton along with thousands of new homes in the next 17 years has been approved.
Wigan council gave the thumbs-up to Greater Manchester’s final Places for Everyone (PfE) draft at a meeting yesterday (Wednesday February 28).
The PfE plan sets out strategic employment, residential and transport infrastructure targets across nine of the city region’s boroughs from 2022 to 2039.
Councils across the city region have until March 21 to adopt it as the strategy which will inform their local plans and have a major bearing on planning decisions.
