The Progress with Unity plan is a place movement for change for the next decade, bringing a new era for the Wigan Borough.
Statutory compliance is a critical aspect with the Council, as it ensures that we are adhering to laws and regulations set forth by government agencies. By implementing compliance measures, we can protect our residents from legal and financial penalties and ensure the integrity of our operations.
