PEOPLE power is coming to Leigh with the borough's first citizens panel being formed in a bid to improve local services.
Council and health chiefs will recruit 1,200 citizens of Wigan and Leigh to represent the boroughs residents on a wide range of issues and to play an important role in shaping the future of the area. Residents will be chosen at random and invited to join the panel. A questionnaire will be sent out at least four times a year and members will have the opportunity to take part in smaller focus groups and workshops.
