General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Well here i go again calling this utter inept council that is running down this once proud Lancashire town. My latest rant at them is because i was rang this morning from a member of staff who works in one of our town's Premier stores, BEAVERBROOKS , because over the last 50 odd years whenever i or my good lady have an occasion to purchase some types of jewellery etc we have always gone to the store in our town Wigan , Alas in six (6) weeks time it will close it's doors forever . When i inquired as to why ,how i was informed she and all her staff have been informed by their head office that they have really tried to find an adequate store somewhere in the town,and when all the costs have been added up of a remove plus and this is one of the main reasons for not staying in Wigan was ,,,are ready ...
The rates being quoted were astronomical . So yet again this greedy council are to see another top mark store to vanish from it's high street . I do not know if any of the comic councillors read WW, but if they do they should be well and truly ashamed . After all the changes they are proposing i just do not know what there will be left to look /browse and shop. I AM now going to contact my M.P a certain Lisa Nandy to ask her just what is she going to do about all these closures??? This is getting very near to the last nail in Wigan's coffin. GB
