Radical plans from contender for Leigh and Atherton seat
Radical plans to abolish the Greater Manchester mayor’s role and for Leigh and Atherton to be ‘cut adrift’ from Wigan council control have been put forward by a Conservative candidate. Former Wigan town mayor Michael Winstanley is vying to replace Tory MP James Grundy, who is not seeking re-election in the seat he took from Labour in Leigh and Atherton for the first time ever in 2019.

Mr Winstanley was born and grew up in Ashton-in-Makerfield where he lives, just yards from the border of the constituency he is bidding to represent in Westminster. He has previously served as a councillor for Wigan for a total of 16 years, part of which was as leader of the opposition Conservative group. He was the ceremonial mayor in the 2010-11 year.
They said that the four Greater Manchester scrutiny committee were scrapped following an independent review with the agreement of the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats as well as Labour. "There is nothing Wigan council can do, because it would need an act of parliament. It's a bit ironic that a Conservative MP and candidate are calling for this, because Wigan council was created in 1974 by a Tory government and Greater Manchester was crated in the 1980s, again by a Conservative Government.
