## Resource

A massive new warehouse project, touted as a rail freight hub but likely dominated by trucks, is sparking outrage in the community. With up to 1,200 heavy goods vehicles and 16 long trains daily—many at night—residents fear noise, light, and traffic chaos that could ripple up to ten miles away. Roads are already buckling under strain, and locals say consultations ignored key concerns. Despite Wigan Council pulling some land from its local plan, residents push back, demanding official opposition. The fight over this decades-in-the-making development is far from over.
