Save The Mesnes
Sign Now
The Mesnes (also known as the Mesnes Field) is under threat with a planning application for Wigan Council to consider. The proposals are to build a boys/girls club on the site within this conservation area.
The idea of a boys/girls is to be welcomed, as Wigan is big enough to support any such facility. Our belief is that the brownfield sites would be better used for facilities like this, rather than use our precious green environment.
The Mesnes Field is our green inheritance to be maintained as a green urban space for posterity. This piece of land is Wigan's oldest feature and it must remain so.

This green space should be retained for recreational use. It would be great to see cricket matches played here again for instance!

Instead of taking away green sites, Wigan should be planting trees and grass on all the current blots on the landscape such as the old town hall site. We cannot let this erosion of green sites continue.

Wigan is lacking in wealth creators. A less attractive town makes attracting these people more difficult. Also some of the eyesores should be demolished to make way for the proposed club.

This is the last large public space in the town centre and should be kept as such and not built on, remember how we lost the use of the large market square when that was built over in the 1980's.

I don't know if I am right in assuming that Mr Whelan is the owner of this particular piece of land. Did it not come as part of the package when he bought the old grammer school? I believe that part of the terms of that sale was that as former Manse land

I was born in Wigan and lived there for more than 35 years. I am outraged at the proposal to build on this hertitage site

Lots of good but empty buildings in the town - much more practical to use one of those. Great idea, wrong location! Simplez
