Wigan Council has pulled four sites—including Bridgewater West—from its local development plan, dashing hopes for a major business park on greenbelt land after a year-long campaign by residents and environmentalists. The move, hailed as a victory by activists like Joanna Allsopp, reflects growing pressure to protect wildlife and flood defenses—but campaigners warn the fight isn’t over, as the land remains part of a broader regional scheme and developers may still push forward. With the council claiming it has enough alternative land, tensions remain high as Peel Group weighs its next moves.
