Change the boundary so that Wigan is back in Lancashire

Petition Details

Many people do not agree with the boundary changes, which we had no say in. Wigan is a chartered town, older than Manchester and we want to be back in Lancashire where we belong.

Additional Information

Change the boundaries back such that the Wigan borough is in Lancashire, not Greater Manchester

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise.
