Quote ="Jimmy85"Surely the train would be worse for the local economy, people going spending their money in Manchester/ Liverpool, rather than spending it in the shops here, cant see people flocking to Leigh to see our 2497 pound shops, cafes and bookies, our Market is hardly famous like Bury's is, why would peoplke come to Leigh?? Unless im missing something blindingly obvious, i cant see why we need one.'"
One rreason is that the price of property is a third less than manchester. Insurance is also a lot less. I remember a friend from Glasgow coming to see me when I lived in Leigh and said "dear me I didn't know you lived in the country". Leigh has a lot going for it. If only we could be released from the shackles that are Wigan.
