To celebrate the best of the season, we’re inviting you to share your photos of autumn in Lowton and Golborne with us. 

The wonderful ladies of Milltown Sound have recorded a beautiful Christmas song to raise money for Wigan and Leigh Hospice.

Despite all the challenges of this year, Lowton’s community has come together to make the town’s lights bigger and better than ever!

Golborne’s Christmas lights have been switched on and the town is now looking festive ahead of the big day.

After all the rain we’ve had lately, you may not have been in the garden much! Here’s some jobs for when the weather is dry this November.

Leigh MP James Grundy is asking for local support to help stop the controversial ‘Golborne Spur’ of the HS2 railway.

Plans for the HS2 railway line to come through Lowton have not gone away – despite speculation that the so-called ‘Golborne Spur’ would be scrapped. 

A film exploring the history of Leigh business, George Moss & Sons Ltd, also contains lots of fascinating insights into the history of several local landmarks, too.

This local jewellery maker can use cremation ashes to create these beautiful handcrafted pieces in memory of your loved one.

As autumn really gets going this month, there’s lots to be done in the garden to keep it looking good over winter.

Repair works to local electrical cables are now complete – so hopefully we’ll be seeing no more power cuts!

If you’ve spotted activity at the former William Hill shop in Golborne – we have a sneak preview to show you what’s coming along to replace it!
