Even with all the plans for the market refurbishment, its great to seen a fellow trader add to our local offering.

This is the new rugs/carpet stall in Leigh Indoor market, next to Lynns Carvery

Operated by Tony and family, caters for your needs with doormats, lounge rugs and an array of other mats, rugs and vinyls for your home.

I've just been over to the RBL table in Tesco Leigh and bumped into the wonderful Cllr Eileen Strathearn - Astley Reform UK

Budget Analysis

Yesterday, we heard that households in Council Tax Bands A to D will receive a one-off £100 payment.

Let’s put that into perspective:

🔴 It barely covers a week’s family food shop.
🔴 For some, it’s around two weeks of energy costs.
🔴 With fuel prices as they are, it won’t go far filling the family car.

The bills won’t stop. The food still needs buying. The pressure won’t go away.

This year’s budget was like taking paracetamol for a serious medical condition — a temporary fix when much more serious intervention is needed.

People don’t need token gestures. They need real, lasting action.

Our families deserve better. Our communities deserve better.

Reform UK offered a real alternative with a 64 point statement that would get things moving.

Honestly, this budget should have delivered better for families and offered more security for businesses

Great work from the Reform UK - Wigan team. Hoping to catch up with them sometime this week.

Well as a market trader, where do I start

Engagment with traders, we havent had an update in months

Stall holders are told we are to downsize while still paying the same rents.

We still have no time scale on when we will be moving. Next Phase have told us 3 different times over the last 8 weeks.

Traders were promised a support package to help with all the disruption, its STILL not materialised.

And we still dont know what will happen to those staff who will undoubtedly have to be laid off staff so stalls can survive.

Hes not told you the we've lost at least 2 stalls in the last month due to all this uncertainty

So when he puts the positive spin on it, thats all it is, because the level of uncertainty for some, if not all traders is staggering

I know that Reform UK, especially Reform UK - Wigan councillors such as Cllr David Evans, Cllr Tina Kennedy and Cllr Eileen Strathearn and others have been doing all they can to support us.

Wigan Council and Labour has an awful track record regarding markets, just look at whats happening in Wigan, some of whom I am friends with

It was great to be back out in the Makerfield constituency campaigning in the local by-election in Hindley Green.

If you want change then vote for it

Vote Reform UK on 12th November

Is this a case of Anti community, or Anti Reform

Shouldn't Councillors in the same ward work together for all the community?

Looks like Labour in Leigh West don't want to be bothered embracing the Reform UK Councillor.
