Wigan Council is a local government authority in the United Kingdom responsible for public services and community leadership in the borough of Wigan. Operating within the government administration sector, it focuses on partnering with communities to deliver outcomes for residents and to foster a borough where people feel valued and have opportunities to thrive. The council promotes an inclusive culture guided by its BeWigan behaviours — Be Positive, Be Accountable, Be Courageous, and Be Kind — and supports career development, wellbeing, and a strong pension for staff. It has a track record of recognition for innovation, including an APSE Council of the Year award, and holds accreditations such as Level 3 Carer Confident and Disability Confident Employer, reflecting its commitments to staff and working carers. In March 2026, Wigan Council, via Wigan & Leigh Housing Co Ltd, refreshed its housing strategy to broaden housing options across the borough. The council is a sizeable public sector employer, delivering services through a broad range of programs aimed at improving community wellbeing and local infrastructure.
