Platt Bridge Community Powered Regeneration

Waymarking is working with Wigan & Leigh Community Charity (WLCC), based in Platt Bridge, Wigan to initiate a new community partnership in Abram Ward. Starting in November 2025, we will be exploring what a community powered regeneration of Platt Bridge Town Centre could like. We’re bringing community leaders and organisations, their members and volunteers together to have their say through community conversations, on the positives & issues in the town centre.

 

Building on the recently adopted Abram Communities Together Neighbourhood Plan (which Waymarking supported the development of in 2017-19), and Wigan Borough’s draft Local Plan, Waymarking and WLCC are supporting this neighbourhood level project, to forge an effective, place-based, community-led partnership, to shape and influence how the town centre develops over the next few years.
