Wigan residents celebrate a landmark victory as four greenbelt sites—threatened for development—have been removed from the local plan, protecting five million square metres of land from becoming a concrete jungle. Campaigners hailed the decision as an emotional triumph, proving community voices can shape policy. While the council still aims to deliver 16,000 new homes and meet job creation targets, they’re now redirecting focus to six major housing sites and town center regeneration. A separate proposal for Gibfield Park is also under formal objection, as officials deem it misaligned with local needs. The battle for green space is won for now, but the larger challenge of balancing growth with preservation remains.
