Wigan Galleries: A sad tale of waste, incompetance and mismanagement

Saturday afternoon, 21st of April 2012 and this is a major part of the Galleries shopping arcade. Built in the late 1980's at great expense and against the wishes of the majority of the people of Wigan, these units remain as yawning empty spaces and escalators trundle away to nowhere - a testament to the mismanagement and sheer incompetance of Wigan Council. Some of the units have, in fact NEVER been occupied and will continue to remain so as long as the sky high rents and unfavourable lease terms remain in place.
