'The foundations are crumbling': Council boss questioned over financial position and ability to deliver Galleries project
Wigan’s council leader was told that he should be ‘ashamed’ after questions were raised over ‘debts of £600 million’ and the authorities ability to fund the massive Galleries redevelopment. Councillor David Molyneux came under fire during the full council meeting at Wigan Town Hall this week after a Capital Programme report revealed the council had a capital financing requirement of £594 million.
