Borough Life magazine is produced twice a year and available to pick up for free from public buildings, community venues and locations across the borough.
Each edition is packed with news and features about the council and its public service partners as well as community activities and upcoming events.
If you would like to have Borough Life available from your community location please email our PR team.
Winter 2026
We’re back ahead of another busy winter season across Wigan Borough.
This edition includes all the usual updates on our key regeneration projects and highlights where significant investment continues to create places where people can live, visit and enjoy spending time.
We take a closer look at how young people are embracing a new fitness trend, as well as how Wigan Council’s adult social care services have been recognised as the best in the country.
There’s an exciting overview of how our Film Friendly Fund is making an impact, along with details of how a well-known borough location has become the secret star of a prime-time BBC drama.
We also explore how affordable housing schemes are helping residents find housing solutions at every stage of their lives.
We’d love to hear what you think of the magazine. Please email Borough Life with any feedback or if you have an idea for a story.
Don’t forget, you can listen to the Borough Life podcast online.
